# `MD012` - Multiple consecutive blank lines
Tags: `blank_lines`, `whitespace`
Aliases: `no-multiple-blanks`
Parameters:
- `maximum`: Consecutive blank lines (`integer`, default `1`)
Fixable: Some violations can be fixed by tooling
This rule is triggered when there are multiple consecutive blank lines in the
document:
```markdown
Some text here
Some more text here
```
To fix this, delete the offending lines:
```markdown
Some text here
Some more text here
```
Note: this rule will not be triggered if there are multiple consecutive blank
lines inside code blocks.
Note: The `maximum` parameter can be used to configure the maximum number of
consecutive blank lines.
Rationale: Except in a code block, blank lines serve no purpose and do not
affect the rendering of content.
