MD023 - Headings must start at the beginning of the line

Tags: headers, headings, spaces

Aliases: header-start-left, heading-start-left

Fixable: Most violations can be fixed by tooling

This rule is triggered when a heading is indented by one or more spaces:

Some text

  # Indented heading

To fix this, ensure that all headings start at the beginning of the line:

Some text

# Heading

Rationale: Headings that don't start at the beginning of the line will not be parsed as headings, and will instead appear as regular text.
