MD003 "consistent" doesn't allow "setext_with_atx" about markdownlint

[DavidAnson]

It's an interesting scenario and something I hadn't realized! It's possible to implement, but it would be slightly messy and besides, I'm not even sure I'd consider a mixed style like that to be "consistent" anyway. So yes, my inclination is to close this as "unplanned".

Your summary of the behavior of "consistent" is correct; it requires that the first style it encounters hold for the rest of the document.

I don't know of a setting that would allow all three flavors like you describe. That said, it sounds like your project prefers "setext_with_atx", so I am not sure why you wouldn't set that in your configuration?

Fair point, I've set that in our VSCode workspace settings for the project.

I guess my question was more about whether or not setext_with_atx in itself should be considered a consistent style since level 1 headers are reserved for the page title that leaves you with only 1 level of headings for the body (level 2) if you are using setext only.

But maybe that doesn't really make since from a standards perspective, and seems like perhaps atx style headings are winning out in the popular landscape anyway so maybe I'm just questioning my own life decisions.

Happy to close, reason: "Original poster slowly losing his sanity"
