MD050 - Strong style

Tags: emphasis

Aliases: strong-style

Parameters:

  • style: Strong style (string, default consistent, values asterisk / consistent / underscore)

Fixable: Some violations can be fixed by tooling

This rule is triggered when the symbols used in the document for strong do not match the configured strong style:

**Text**
__Text__

To fix this issue, use the configured strong style throughout the document:

**Text**
**Text**

The configured strong style can be a specific symbol to use (asterisk, underscore) or can require all strong matches the first strong (consistent).

Note: Emphasis within a word is restricted to asterisk in order to avoid unwanted emphasis for words containing internal underscores like__this__one.

Rationale: Consistent formatting makes it easier to understand a document.
