This rule is triggered on any lines that end with unexpected whitespace. To fix this, remove the trailing space from the end of the line.
The br_spaces parameter allows an exception to this rule for a specific number
of trailing spaces, typically used to insert an explicit line break. The default
value allows 2 spaces to indicate a hard break (<br> element). (You must set
br_spaces to a value >= 2 for this parameter to take effect. Setting
br_spaces to 1 behaves the same as 0, disallowing any trailing spaces.)
By default, trailing space is allowed in indented and fenced code blocks because
some programming languages require that. To report such instances, set the
code_blocks parameter to true.
By default, this rule will not trigger when the allowed number of spaces is
used, even when it doesn't create a hard break (for example, at the end of a
paragraph). To report such instances, set the strict parameter to true.
Text text text
text[2 spaces]
Using spaces to indent blank lines inside a list item is usually not necessary,
but some parsers require it. Set the list_item_empty_lines parameter to true
to allow this (even when strict is true):
- list item text
[2 spaces]
list item text
Rationale: Except when being used to create a line break, trailing whitespace has no purpose and does not affect the rendering of content.
