MD029 is triggered on any multiline ordered list items. about markdownlint

[DavidAnson]

Documentation: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/master/doc/Rules.md#md029---ordered-list-item-prefix

MD029 has two modes: one and ordered. The default mode is one which looks for the following style:

1. First
1. Second
1. Third

The benefit of this style is that lines can be reordered without having to worry about the numbers going out of sequence. If you wish to change the style to ordered per your example above, you can update the rule configuration via one of the supported mechanisms:

• https://github.com/DavidAnson/vscode-markdownlint#configure

Landed here as this caught me out as well, updating to ordered it is then, thanks.

I'm new to VS, I've gone to settings and added the markdown code, but having trouble with the syntax, tried a few things but no luck, does anyone have an example for the settings code I should be using here please?

e.g.

{
    "workbench.colorTheme": "Monokai",
    "workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-icons",
    "editor.renderWhitespace": "all",
    "[markdown]": {
      "editor.wordWrap": "on",
      "editor.quickSuggestions": false,
      "editor.ol-prefix": "ordered"
    }
  }

On a phone right now, but if you edit VS Code config files from within the app, it will provide auto-complete suggestions to help. You should end up with something like what you see towards the bottom of this section:

Thanks, managed to sort this, in case anyone else comes here, I'd clicked the top one here, instead of the bottom example code:

I now have:

{
    "workbench.colorTheme": "Monokai",
    "workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-icons",
    "editor.renderWhitespace": "all",
    "markdownlint.config": {
      "MD029": false,
      "MD034": false
    }
  }

I created .markdownlint.json in my root folder and added following snippet in that -

{
    "default": true,
    "ol-prefix": { "style": "ordered" }
}

But the linting still occurs at 2. showing green squiggly line, saying MD029/ol-prefix: Ordered list item prefix [Expected: 1; Actual: 2].

Am I missing something?

[DavidAnson]

Can you show the Markdown you are getting the wrong result for?

[DavidAnson]

And say what tool or code you are using to lint.

In case you're confused about how to use ordered lists with this rule in place...

It’s important to note that the actual numbers you use to mark the list have no effect on the HTML output Markdown produces.
