FAQ
Is my Markdown uploaded?
No. Linting runs entirely in your browser.
What does this checker look for?
Blank lines around headings and fences, trailing spaces, duplicate headings, mixed list markers, broken links, and emphasis with spaces inside markers.
Are code blocks checked?
Content inside fenced code blocks is skipped. Fence blank-line rules still apply around the fences themselves.
