Fixed

• MD007: MkDocs flavor now enforces 4-space indentation (indent=4, style=fixed) as required by Python-Markdown; conflicting user config emits a warning and is overridden (#​522)
• MD013: Reflow fix no longer dedents continuation paragraphs after code blocks inside admonitions in list items (#​509)
• MD025: Auto-fix now cascades heading demotion to child headings, preserving the document's heading hierarchy (#​525)
• MD070: Fence collision detection expanded to ~50 language identifiers (Python, JS, Shell, Rust, Go, YAML, etc.) where triple backtick sequences commonly appear (#​518)
• MD070: Auto-fix integration now works correctly in both CLI and LSP code action paths by including a complete Fix struct on warnings
• MD046: Removed redundant nested fence detection that produced false positives on Python code blocks containing embedded markdown
• LSP: Server now publishes empty diagnostics to invalidate client cache when switching to pull mode, preventing stale errors from persisting (#​517)

Added

• Per-rule enabled = false now actually disables rules; enabled = true/false is fully bidirectional and takes precedence over global disable/extend-disable/extend-enable lists (#​520)

Fixed

• MD032: False positive for list continuation text in nested blockquotes (#​519)
• MD014: Now reports all violations per code block, not just the first (#​516)

• MD013: strict-sentences alias now correctly recognized in config validation
• MD049/MD050: Skip mkdocstrings blocks in emphasis-related rules to prevent false positives (#​515)
• Code block tools: Strip ANSI codes, parse multi-line errors, and combine stdout/stderr for complete diagnostic output (#​506)
• Code block tools: Default tombi tool now runs tombi lint instead of tombi format when configured in the lint slot (#​506)
• Config: enabled key no longer rejected as unknown in per-rule config blocks (#​520)
• Inline config: Unified directive parser eliminates disambiguation bugs between enable/disable/configure directives

Changed

• Consolidated ~110 test binaries into a single lib binary for faster builds

Added

• MD013: New require-sentence-capital option for sentence-per-line and semantic-line-breaks reflow modes. When set to false, periods are recognized as sentence boundaries without requiring an uppercase letter afterward (#​514)
• MD013: ! and ? are now always recognized as sentence boundaries regardless of the require-sentence-capital setting
• MD013: Single-letter initial detection (e.g., "J. K. Rowling") to prevent false sentence splits
• MD013: Expanded default abbreviation list with: vs, fig, no, vol, ch, sec, al

Fixed

• MD044: Names inside backtick code spans in YAML frontmatter are no longer flagged when code_blocks = false (#​513)
• MD051: HTML/JSX tags in headings (e.g., <Component />, <span>text</span>) are now stripped before anchor generation, preventing false-positive broken link warnings (#​510)
• MD032: Complex nested lists with continuation paragraphs at parent indent levels are no longer incorrectly split into separate lists (#​512)
• npm: Binary downloaded from npm registry is now automatically made executable on macOS/Linux, fixing "permission denied" errors (#​511)

Changed

• CI npm tests no longer pre-fix binary permissions, ensuring the auto-chmod logic is properly tested
• Release workflow test job now includes a lint step

Fixed

• MD007: Accept both text-aligned and fixed indent under ordered parents,
  resolving false positives with 4-space indentation config
  (#​504)
• MD007: Use accepted indent for stored content column, fixing inconsistent
  indent detection in nested lists
• MD013/MD032/MD046: Suppress false positives inside JSX component blocks
  (thanks @​anaxite)
• MD032: Recognize parent-level continuation after nested list items,
  preventing false positive when a list continuation follows a nested item
  (#​507)
• LSP: Skip documentation URLs for code-block-tool warnings, avoiding
  invalid links like https://rumdl.dev/jq/
  (#​505)
• LSP: Plumb source_file through lint() for path-dependent rules
• Code block tools: Include all output lines in generic fallback
  diagnostics, providing full context from tools like tombi
  (#​506)

Changed

• Code block tools: Classify jq as both linter and formatter

v0.1.43

Added

• LSP: Add textDocument/rename support for markdown headings — rename a
  heading and all references to it update automatically
• CLI: Add "fixed" field to JSON output when --fix is active, showing
  how many issues were auto-fixed
• CLI: --fix now works with batch output formats (JSON, GitLab, SARIF,
  JUnit) instead of silently skipping fixes
  (#​498)
• SARIF: Add baselineState field to SARIF output for baseline comparison

Fixed

• Fix mode: Respect inline disable comments (<!-- rumdl-disable -->) in
  --fix mode — previously, disabled rules could still apply fixes
• MD037: Skip HTML blocks when detecting spaces around emphasis markers,
  preventing false positives on HTML attributes containing * or _
• MD037: Skip inline HTML code elements (e.g., <code>*text*</code>) to
  prevent false positives on emphasis-like patterns inside HTML tags
• MD042: Skip frontmatter lines to prevent false positives on YAML keys
  that look like empty links
• MD051: Allow digit-starting custom anchor IDs (e.g., {#​1-intro})
• MD076: Detect inconsistent spacing when code blocks are inside list items
• MDX: Improve compatibility by skipping JSX/MDX content in 7 rules

Changed

• MD070: Changed to opt-in rule. Its auto-fix modifies document structure
  and can cause false positives on documentation files showing code examples.
  Enable with extend-enable = ["MD070"]
  (#​502)
• CLI: Simplify fix mode output for structured formats
• Upgrade Rust toolchain from 1.91.0 to 1.94.0

Performance

• MD053: Optimize link definition matching with binary search and
  forward-tracking

Fixed

• MD013: Disable code block line length checking for Rust doc comments.

  (default max_width = 100), not prose governed by markdown line limits.
  Prose lines are still checked

Fixed

• MD013: Skip PyMdown block content during reflow, preventing false
  semantic-line-breaks diagnostics on /// details blocks and their content
  (#​495, reported by @​tahv)
• MD013: Flavor-gate attribute list detection in reflow engine so that
  {#id .class} syntax is only treated as atomic in MkDocs/Kramdown flavors,
  preventing incorrect wrapping behavior in standard markdown
  (#​494, reported by @​sisp)
• MD013: Treat MkDocs attribute lists as atomic units during text reflow
  so they are never split across lines
• MD013: Check inline config directives across the full line range of a
  warning, fixing cases where <!-- rumdl-disable --> inside indented list
  items was ignored
  (#​493, reported by @​sisp)
• MD054: Remove BrokenLinkCallback to fix false positives on bracket
  text like [0], [i], and [key] that are not actual markdown links
  (#​488, reported by @​eread)
• MD050: Replace regex with pulldown-cmark parser to fix false positives
  on sequences of underscores or asterisks that are not emphasis markers
  (#​489, reported by @​eread)
• LSP: Fix zero-length fix ranges in MD050 LSP code actions and clean up
  dead code
  (#​490, reported by @​eread)
• MD044: Use proper byte range for LSP fix to replace flagged text instead
  of prepending to it
  (#​490, reported by @​eread)
• MD054: Replace regex with pulldown-cmark to fix false positive on
  brackets in code spans
• MD054: Fix should_skip for autolink-only documents and nested link text
• MD007: Skip GFM table rows during Setext heading detection to prevent
  false negatives
• MD007: Adjust expected indent for MkDocs ordered list continuation lines

v0.1.40

Fixed

• MkDocs: Support multi-line code spans inside MkDocs containers
  (admonitions, content tabs, markdown HTML) — pulldown-cmark missed these
  because it treats 4-space-indented container content as indented code blocks.
  Replaced the per-line backtick scanner with a dedent-and-reparse approach
  that handles all CommonMark edge cases including nested containers
  (#​487, reported by @​stefanvanburen)
• MD034: Fix code span filter to use byte offsets instead of single-line
  column checks, preventing false positives for URLs and emails inside
  multi-line code spans
• MD052: Fix code span filter to use byte offsets, preventing false
  positives for reference links inside multi-line code spans

Fixed

• Rustdoc: Skip MD033, MD040, MD051, and MD054 for doc comment blocks to
  eliminate false positives — HTML warning blocks (<div class="warning">),
  unlabeled code blocks (default to Rust), rustdoc anchors (#method.bar),
  and shortcut intra-doc links ([crate::module]) are all valid rustdoc syntax
  (#​438, reported by @​sorairolake)
• Config: Fix include patterns in .rumdl.toml not discovering .rs
  files — config-based include now correctly expands the file type filter to
  include Rust files alongside markdown

v0.1.37

Compare Source

Fixed

• MD013: Resolve false positive for MkDocs 2-space list continuation
  indents when using semantic-line-breaks reflow mode. Continuation lines
  at the minimum indent were incorrectly flagged as needing reflow
  (#​484)
• MD013: Detect actual indent of text content for reflow output instead
  of trimming and re-indenting, which produced incorrect indentation for
  code blocks and nested structures
• MD013: Use correct indent threshold for code block detection, fixing
  cases where indented code blocks inside list items were incorrectly
  treated as text for reflow
• MD028: Make blank-line scanning functions skip-context-aware (HTML
  comments, frontmatter, code blocks) to prevent false positives on
  blockquote separators
• MD050: Resolve check/fix divergence for strong emphasis markers inside
  inline code in table cells
• MD050: Add line-level code span detection fallback for inline code
  markers in tables
• MD051: Handle escaped backticks correctly in mask_pipes_in_inline_code
  for table cell parsing
• MD051: Preserve underscores in code spans during GitHub anchor
  generation
• MD054: Skip alert/callout syntax (e.g., [!NOTE]) in shortcut link
  detection to avoid false positives
• MD056: Remove duplicate split_row_into_cells function, consolidate
  table cell parsing
• Rules: Correct CommonMark compliance and close audit gaps across
  multiple rules

Changed

• Dependencies: Update all dependencies including major bumps:
  toml 0.9 → 1.0, toml_edit 0.24 → 0.25, jsonschema 0.37 → 0.44.
  Remove unused rand dev-dependency. ~80 crates updated to latest
  compatible versions

Added

• Lint: Rust doc comment linting — rumdl check and rumdl check --fix
  now lint markdown inside /// and //! doc comments in .rs files.
  Rules that don't apply to doc comments (MD041, MD047) are automatically
  skipped. Column numbers are remapped to the original source positions
  (#​438)

Fixed

• WASM: Enable opt-in rules (like MD060) via per-rule enabled = true
  and extend-enable in WASM/Obsidian plugin configuration
  (obsidian-rumdl#15)
• WASM: Add fixable/unfixable config fields so fix scope restrictions
  work in WASM builds
• WASM: Set enable_is_explicit when enable is present, matching CLI
  behavior where enable = [] means "no rules"
• WASM: Use canonical MarkdownFlavor::from_str() for flavor parsing so
  all aliases (qmd, rmd, gfm, commonmark, etc.) work in WASM
