MD027 - Multiple spaces after blockquote symbol

Tags: blockquote, indentation, whitespace

Aliases: no-multiple-space-blockquote

Parameters:

• list_items: Include list items (boolean, default true)

Fixable: Some violations can be fixed by tooling

This rule is triggered when blockquotes have more than one space after the blockquote (>) symbol:

>  This is a blockquote with bad indentation
>  there should only be one.

To fix, remove any extraneous space:

> This is a blockquote with correct
> indentation.

Inferring intended list indentation within a blockquote can be challenging; setting the list_items parameter to false disables this rule for ordered and unordered list items.

Rationale: Consistent formatting makes it easier to understand a document.
