mdast-lint-blank-lines-1-0-2

This mdast-lint rule was created for free-programming-books-lint to enforce free-programming-books formatting guidelines.

This rule ensures that a file has

• 2 empty lines between last link and new section
• 1 empty line between heading & first link of its section
• 0 empty line between two list items
• 1 empty line at the end of each .md file

<!-- Invalid -->

[...]
* [An Awesome Book](http://example.com/example.html)

### Example
* [Another Awesome Book](http://example.com/book.html)

* [Some Other Book](http://example.com/other.html)

<!-- Valid -->

[...]
* [An Awesome Book](http://example.com/example.html)


### Example

* [Another Awesome Book](http://example.com/book.html)
* [Some Other Book](http://example.com/other.html)

Using the rule

Via .mdastrc

npm install -g mdast
npm install -g mdast-lint
npm install mdast-lint-blank-lines-1-0-2 # local install!

Then, set up your .mdastrc:

{
  "plugins": {
    "mdast-lint": {
      "external": ["mdast-lint-blank-lines-1-0-2"]
    }
  }
}

Now you can use the following command to run the lint:

mdast --no-stdout xxx.md

Via CLI

npm install -g mdast
npm install -g mdast-lint
npm install -g mdast-lint-blank-lines-1-0-2 # global install!
mdast --no-stdout -u mdast-lint="external:[\"mdast-lint-blank-lines-1-0-2\"]" xxx.md

Note that the lint=<lint_options> option only works with mdast >= 1.1.1.
