MD044 - Proper names should have the correct capitalization

Tags: spelling

Aliases: proper-names

Parameters:

  • code_blocks: Include code blocks (boolean, default true)
  • html_elements: Include HTML elements (boolean, default true)
  • names: List of proper names (string[], default [])

Fixable: Some violations can be fixed by tooling

This rule is triggered when any of the strings in the names array do not have the specified capitalization. It can be used to enforce a standard letter case for the names of projects and products.

For example, the language "JavaScript" is usually written with both the 'J' and 'S' capitalized - though sometimes the 's' or 'j' appear in lower-case. To enforce the proper capitalization, specify the desired letter case in the names array:

[
    "JavaScript"
]

Sometimes a proper name is capitalized differently in certain contexts. In such cases, add both forms to the names array:

[
    "GitHub",
    "github.com"
]

Set the code_blocks parameter to false to disable this rule for code blocks and spans. Set the html_elements parameter to false to disable this rule for HTML elements and attributes (such as when using a proper name as part of a path for a/href or img/src).

Rationale: Incorrect capitalization of proper names is usually a mistake.
