MD038 - Spaces inside code span elements
Tags: code, whitespace
Aliases: no-space-in-code
Fixable: Some violations can be fixed by tooling
This rule is triggered for code spans that have content with spaces next to the beginning or ending backticks:
`some text `
` some text`
To fix this, remove any spaces at the beginning or ending:
`some text`
Note: Code spans containing only spaces are allowed by the specification:
` ` or ` `
Note: A single leading and trailing space is allowed by the specification and automatically trimmed by the parser (in order to allow for code spans that embed backticks):
`` `backticks` ``
Note: A single leading or trailing space is allowed if used to separate code span markers from an embedded backtick (though the space is not trimmed):
`` ` embedded backtick``
Rationale: Violations of this rule are usually unintentional and may lead to improperly-rendered content.
