markdown-lint for Gradle projects

Linting for markdown files

Getting started

Apply the plugin in your build.gradle.kts script. Further instructions on the plugin page.

plugins {
  id("com.appmattus.markdown") version "<latestVersion>"
}

Run the plugin with:

./gradlew markdownlint

or by adding a dependency to the task:

tasks.named("check") {
    dependsOn(tasks.named("markdownlint"))
}

To customise the rules and report generation specify the configuration in your build.gradle.kts script:

import com.appmattus.markdown.rules.config.HeaderStyle
import com.appmattus.markdown.rules.ConsistentHeaderStyleRule
import com.appmattus.markdown.rules.SingleH1Rule

markdownlint {
    // Optional - Use to override settings for individual rules or add in custom rules
    rules {
        // Change the default settings of a rule
        +ConsistentHeaderStyleRule(HeaderStyle.Atx)

        +NoDuplicateHeaderRule {
            // Include files using RegEx for this rule, default=".*" (i.e. all files)
            includes = listOf(".*/directory_to_include/.*")

            // Exclude files using RegEx for this rule, default=empty (i.e. exclude nothing)
            excludes = listOf(".*/a_file_to_exclude.md")
        }

        // Disable a rule by setting active to false
        +SingleH1Rule {
            active = false
        }
    }

    // Optional - Include files using RegEx for ALL rules, default=".*" (i.e. all files in root project directory)
    includes = listOf(".*/directory_to_include/.*")

    // Optional - Exclude files using RegEx for ALL rules, default=empty (i.e. exclude nothing)
    excludes = listOf(".*/a_file_to_exclude.md")

    // Optional - Specify the reports to generate, default=html,checkstyle
    // If you specify the reports block the plugin will output only the types
    // specified i.e. to output no reports implement an empty block
    reports {
        // enable html report
        html()

        // enable checkstyle xml report
        checkstyle()
    }

    // Optional - Specify the error count threshold that triggers a failed build, default=0
    threshold = 10
}
