About:
mdformat is a command-line tool and Python package that formats Markdown files to ensure consistent styling. It is designed to be opinionated and highly extensible, allowing plugins to handle formatting for specific elements like tables or code blocks. This tool helps teams maintain clean, readable documentation with minimal effort.
Key Features:
  • CommonMark compliant formatting
  • Plugin architecture for extensions
  • Preserves code block content
  • GitHub Flavored Markdown support
