Version 0.9.33 - 2025-10-22#

Notes#

This release was a long time in coming, mostly because of things that are not immediately obvious. Our team took some time to look and experiment with some other Python tools, with the aim of reducing the count of tests for the project without sacrificing any coverage. In addition, we have started to look at the performance of the project, and how to best accomplish those improvements. Through the end of the year, we have concrete plans to address any new issues, reduce the test count while maintaining quality, finishing Issue 1468, and working on performance enhancements.

Version 0.9.24 - Date: 2024-10-06#

This release continued our focus on enabling fixing for Rule Md031 and uncovering any issues with the more deeply nested container cases. This has meant introducing a new helper class to assist in the tracking of a given line to the container tokens used to provide container-based indenting for that line. This is very important for Rule Md031, and has already proveded to be useful in a partial rewrite of some of the logic for Md027.

While we find the odd parsing error, those issues are now rare to find in container nesting of three container or less, especially compared to finding issues with our new fix logic. Still, we continue to try different combinations of containers elements and leaf elements, verifying that PyMarkdown creates the correct HTML and correct Markdown from our parsed format.

That is where we still need our users to help us out. If you are scanning any Markdown documents and the results seem off, please file an issue. If you are starting to use our fix mode on your Markdown documents and there are issues, please file an issue. We appreciate any help that we can get to improve the project for everyone!

Added#

  • Issue 1212
    • added cases to Md031 for SetExt
    • added extra test cases and resolution to other cases

Fixed#

Changed#

  • Started to pull common code from MD031 for use in Md027
  • Issue 1226
    • improved API documentation

Version 0.9.23 - Date: 2024-09-04#

This release continued our focus on enabling fixing for Rule Md031 and uncovering any issues with the more deeply nested container cases. And our luck held out, with the majority of the issues being related to the fixing algorithms. As mentioned in the last release, our detection rules rely on accurate parsing of the Markdown documents, with the only truthful way to verify that being to reconstitute the Markdown documents from our internal parsed format.

We continue to try different combinations of containers elements and leaf elements, verifying that PyMarkdown creates the correct HTML and the correct Markdown from our parsed format. The good news is that the largest percentage of issues deal with how we represent and reconstitute that whitespace. And we are diligently working to detect any issues with that process and to fix them.

That is where you, the users, come in. If you are scanning any Markdown documents and the results seem off, please file an issue. If you are starting to use our fix mode on your Markdown documents and there are issues, please file an issue. We appreciate any help that we can get to improve the project for everyone!

Version 0.9.22 - Date: 2024-08-05#

This release was focused on enabling fixing for Rule Md031 and uncovering any issues with the more deeply nested container cases. The good news is that, as the list in the fixed section shows, we fixed a lot of issues. The better news is that only a handful of those fixes dealt with the parser, with the bulk of the issues dealing with transitioning from Markdown to our internal token format and back to Markdown again.

Why is this important? When a user asks the PyMarkdown linter to fix any issues that it can, our team wants to have the utmost confidence that PyMarkdown is producing the correct fix. Therefore, we tokenize the Markdown and base our rules off tokens that we know are correct. The only way to validate that we have the correct tokens is to take those tokens and recreate the Markdown. If we cannot produce the exact Markdown that we started with, then we have a problem.

In most of the fixed issues below, the tokens are correct and can produce the proper HTML from the Markdown. However, in over 90% of the fixed issues below, when we recreate the Markdown, the Markdown that we produce if off by a couple of whitespace characters. For the reasons stated above, it is important to our team to fix these issues with transparency. Therefore, while the fixed list is somewhat long, it is an honest reflection of the issues that we found and addressed.

Version 0.9.17 - Date: 2024-02-05#

This release focuses on getting the feature list complete for a version 1.0 release in early 2024. This release marked the start of moving documentation from this repository to the more curated ReadTheDocs.

Some notable additions/changes are:

  • taking a second pass at the outputs from the recent fix addition, re-verifying the output and fixing any issues
  • cleaning up documentation to properly note what type of whitespace is used in the core and well as various extensions and plugins
    • at the same time, clearly followed the specification on what kind of whitespace to use, instead of allowing unicode whitespace by default
  • for parsers like Python-Markdown, used in the MkDocs tools, added Rule Pml101 to handle the different indentation requirements
    • note that this new rule give advice against Md007, so only one of the two rules should be enabled at any one time

Version 0.9.16 - Date: 2024-01-20#

This release is going to focus on getting the feature list complete for a version 1.0 release in early 2024. To a large extent, this involves adding the "fix" feature for some rules, and double checking the output of many of the existing rules, looking for missing issues.

Some other notable additions/changes are:

  • the --continue-on-error command line flag allows PyMarkdown to continue processing after any tokenization error or plugin error
    • while we hope this is not necessary long term, it is useful
  • added py.typed file for any API users
    • this allows mypy to understand the typing included with the PyMarkdown API
  • more parameterized tests
    • borrowing a pattern we have observed, transitioning scenario tests over to this new pattern
    • any plugin with the new Fix feature has parameterized tests

Version 0.9.15 - Date: 2023-12-05#

This release is mainly to fix issues related to technical debt. The PyMarkdown project takes Markdown and generates a token stream to represent that Markdown. To verify that the tokens are correct, HTML output is generated and matched against reference implementations of the specification. If those pass, the tests then try to recreate the Markdown from the information in the tokens. So, to pass a single test, the Markdown must generate tokens without any assertions, generate the correct HTML, and be able to recreate the Markdown that it parsed.

The issues fixed include some issues that fixed assertions, caused improperly formed HTML, and caused improperly formed Markdown. The majority of these issue involved tab characters and containers.

Added#

  • None

Version 0.9.14 - Date: 2023-10-31#

This release is mostly to incorporate a number of small fixes and additions. Behind the scenes, we spent a while looking at the roadmap and trying to figure out the best path going forward. Part of that was experimenting with different forms of testing, to see how applicable they would be to this project. That work will be starting soon and be incremental. It also pointed out a need for better documentation, which will also be incremental going forward.

That experimentation lead to a couple of changes:

  • Front matter is now interpretted as strict YAML, and not as some mashup of rules. This was decided on as it easier to explain and document. This may cause some existing front-matter settings to not work as expected, especially validation of the front-matter itself and case-sensitivity on front-matter key fields.
  • Added a new pragma command disable-num-lines to handle disabling rules for a given count of lines.

Added#

  • Issue 776
    • implement disable-num-lines pragma command
  • Issue 786
    • added extension to disallow html, per GFM
    • added rule PML100 which detected the same thing, but does not fix

Changed#

  • Issue 750
    • started work on making the tests more compact and efficient

Fixed#

  • Issue 774
    • was following "weird" rules, changed to allow for standard YAML parser to determine validity
    • changed rule md001 to look for case sensitive front-matter key name instead of case sensitive per switch to full YAML processing
  • Issue 791
    • html blocks inside of 2+ levels of block quote was asserting
    • slight change to surrounding code to deal with less than case
  • Issue 793
    • list block end with no paragraphs was causing an assert with MD027
    • double checked assert, is not needed and was just preventative

Version 0.9.13.4 - Date: 2023-09-09#

Note: noted there were some issues with the pymarkdown_test project and giving false positives. Will be looking into that for the next release.

Fixed#

  • Issue 755
    • fixed issue where new directories were not captured due to false positive
  • Issue 759
    • code_blocks property for MD010 was inverted
    • will check for others like this as more fix mode work is done

Version 0.9.13 - Date: 2023-09-03#

This release had some new features, but the most interesting one of all is the start of the work on the fix mode that has been requested. It is invoke by invoking the scan engine with -x-fix scan instead of scan. It is still in the early stages, but you can experiment with it and rules md001, md009, md010, and md047 for which fix mode has been implemented. Note that all the documentation will not reflect fix mode until it is further along, but try it out if you would like!

In addition, because of requests, the following two features and one bug fix have been addressed:

  • YAML support
    • YAML support is provided for default configuration using the .pymarkdown.yml and .pymarkdown.yaml file
      • note that the .pymarkdown file is checked first, and if present, YAML default files will not be loaded
    • YAML support is provided for the command line --config argument
      • if the specified file does not parse as JSON, PyMarkdown will attempt to parse it as YAML
  • Return Code Schemes
    • the --return-code-scheme argument accepts either default or minimal
    • default is the normaly return codes for PyMarkdown
    • minimal returns a code of 0 even if no files were found or if there were any rules triggered
  • Rule MD010
    • The rule was not dealing with tabs in code-blocks properly
    • Fixed so that any line that contains a code-block does not trigger the rule

Added#

  • Issue 618
    • Alpha pass at fix mode
    • Rules md001, md009, md010, and md047 support fix mode, but not documented
  • Issue 691
    • Allow YAML for configuration files
