Rule for indentation in fenced code blocks

[polarathene]

Ideally this could be configured based on language/context given to the code block syntax (```language). Docs that I contribute that require tabs for their config snippets prevents adopting markdownlint otherwise.

Can you please clarify the part about “prevents adopting markdownlint”? You can allow tabs in code blocks.

[polarathene]

While the markdown documents have tabbed indentation for code snippets, contributions are reviewed to ensure that happens. markdownlint lacks a rule to detect the issue so that it can be caught and fixed automatically, so reviewers would still need to check for such themselves right?

Yes, in the context of the feature you are requesting, tabs would not be required in code blocks. But that should not prevent you from using markdownlint - it’s more of a missing validation than a wrong or problematic one.

I understand that, but if it cannot help with that issue, the maintainers might not find it acceptable. There's a linked issue where I've pitched markdownlint, perhaps they will still express interest despite the lack of such feature.

Understood. FYI, this could be implemented as a custom rule by a motivated party - no need to wait for me. :)
