Configuration file

Mdformat allows configuration in a TOML file named .mdformat.toml.

The configuration file will be resolved starting from the location of the file being formatted, and searching up the file tree until a config file is (or isn’t) found. When formatting standard input stream, resolution will be started from current working directory.

Command line interface arguments take precedence over the configuration file.

Example configuration

# .mdformat.toml
#
# This file shows the default values and is equivalent to having
# no configuration file at all. Change the values for non-default
# behavior.
#
wrap = "keep"       # possible values: {"keep", "no", INTEGER}
number = false      # possible values: {false, true}
end_of_line = "lf"  # possible values: {"lf", "crlf", "keep"}
