Prevent "MD009 Trailing spaces" for double-spaced newline

[matbun]

Hi! It is really common in .md files to force the newline by putting a double space at the end of the line.
Unfortunately this gets a warning by this linter. In VS Code it is possible to fix by setting the parameter br_spaces to 2.

How can I set this parameter for this linter?
I tried going in Preferences -> Package Settings -> SublimeLinter -> Settings and add something like

"linters": {
    "mdl": {
         "br_spaces": 2
    }
}

But this did not work...

Reference: markdownlint/markdownlint#165

Na, that's not possible with just a setting. You need a mlrc file or use the -u arg pointing to a style file. The issue you're referring here has some instructions actually. Also the main repo over there has an mlrc file at the root.

As you might have to change the arguments passed to the linter, this is done using the 'args' key.

Sorry, I'm on mobile so can't type it out completely. Feel free to ask again.

Thank you for your answers!
I have also tried something like:

"linters": {
    "mdl": {
         args=["--br_spaces=2"]
    }
}

But it did not work. Is this what you are mentioning? Or should I use a mlrc file as well?
Unfortunately I found no documentation on this.

         "args": ["--br_spaces=2"]

would be nice but mdl doesn't support such ad-hoc rules. You need to make a style file like https://github.com/markdownlint/markdownlint/blob/master/.mdl_style.rb

then if I remember correctly

         "args": ["--style", "path/to/above file"]

Or you also define a ".mdlrc" file https://github.com/markdownlint/markdownlint/blob/master/.mdlrc which basically points to the style file.

.mdlrc files are looked up automatically so you don't have to set "args": {...}. You can use a file located at the home directoy ~/.mdlrc for all you projects or as a personal fallback style. https://github.com/markdownlint/markdownlint/blob/master/docs/configuration.md#mdl-configuration
