linter keeps indenting list to 4 chars

Hello.

Despite my config:

    "markdownlint.config": {
        "list-marker-space": {
            "ul_single": 1,
            "ol_single": 1,
            "ul_multi": 1,
            "ol_multi": 1
        }
    }

saying to indent all lists to 1 characters, the linter automatically reindent all list to 4 chars:

- a
- b
- c

is transformed to:

-    a
-    b
-    c

The linter complains: MD030/list-marker-space: Spaces after list markers [Expected: 1; Actual: 3] markdownlint(MD030)

Cannot find a way to disable this automatic realignment. Disabling the extension do stop the auto reindent.

Thanks

I am unable to reproduce this behavior.

VS Code supports “format on save” for language extensions (that’s what vscode-formatting-toggle enables), but markdownlint is not a language extension. I’ve verified that “format on save” does not apply to the auto-fix code actions that markdownlint does offer, so that should not be relevant here.

Furthermore, markdownlint in the configuration you show above does not report any lint violations for the sample you show above - which means it won’t offer any auto-fix actions anyway. As you note, markdownlint doesn’t report a violation until after the edit is applied.

Furthermore, MD030 is not even one of the rules that markdownlint offers auto-fixes for!

Could you please try disabling all VS Code extensions, then enabling only markdownlint and confirm that it reports no lint issues for your scenario above? Then enable formatting and let me know if you see the problem? If so, please let me know your VS Code version and send a screenshot of the Extensions panel in VS Code.

Thanks!

PS - Here’s my test environment:

C:\T\Issue79>type .vscode\settings.json
{
    "markdownlint.config": {
        "list-marker-space": {
            "ul_single": 1,
            "ol_single": 1,
            "ul_multi": 1,
            "ol_multi": 1
        }
    },
    "editor.formatOnSave": true
}
C:\T\Issue79>type issue79.md
# Issue 79

- a
- b
- c

@andfinally I couldn’t find ‘disable languages’ but adding file .prettierignore in the root with content *.md seems to work fine as well.

Cheers, Ringo.
