mdformat
An opinionated, CommonMark-compliant Markdown formatter and Python library for enforcing consistent style.
What is mdformat?
Mdformat is an opinionated Markdown formatter that enforces a consistent style in Markdown files. It solves the problem of inconsistent formatting in Markdown documents by providing a tool that automatically formats them according to CommonMark standards. It can be used both as a command-line utility and as a Python library.
Developers and technical writers who work with Markdown files and need to maintain consistent formatting across documentation, READMEs, or other Markdown-based content.
Developers choose Mdformat for its strict CommonMark compliance, pure Python implementation (avoiding Node.js dependencies), and extensible plugin system. It offers a lightweight, reliable alternative to other formatters with fewer bugs and smaller package size.
