## What it is
An Obsidian.md plugin that formats and styles Markdown notes with a focus on configurability and extensibility. It provides toggleable rules for YAML frontmatter, headings, footnotes, spacing, and general Markdown content that can be run on files, folders, or an entire vault.

## Use cases
- format my obsidian notes consistently
- clean up yaml frontmatter in markdown files
- auto-format markdown headings and spacing
- lint my obsidian vault for style issues
- move tags into yaml frontmatter automatically
- normalize markdown formatting across a vault
- add yaml title and timestamps to notes automatically

## When to choose
- you use Obsidian and want consistent note formatting
- you need configurable, toggleable rules for Markdown and YAML frontmatter cleanup
- you want to lint many notes at once across a vault

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose Markdown linter outside Obsidian
- you want a linter for programming code rather than prose notes
- you need rules that all compose safely together, since some rule combinations conflict
