This rule is triggered when there are multiple consecutive blank lines in the document:
Some text here
Some more text here
To fix this, delete the offending lines:
Some text here
Some more text here
Note: this rule will not be triggered if there are multiple consecutive blank lines inside code blocks.
Note: The maximum
parameter can be used to configure the maximum number of
consecutive blank lines.
Rationale: Except in a code block, blank lines serve no purpose and do not affect the rendering of content.
