MD004 overwritten by prettier

[CWSites]

I have both markdownlint and prettier configured for my project. I observed that prettier is overwriting my unordered list options (it auto changes + and * to -) and was wondering if there is a way to prevent this from happening?

The only thing I can think of right now is to have prettier ignore .md files, but this isn't ideal.

When researching prettier's approach I came across this issue which I believe is the root cause. https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/4251

I'm not a prettier user and don't have recommendations for how to configure it, sorry.

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm wondering if anyone else that uses this has any suggestions of how they get past this?

Prettier intentionally limits how much it can be configured, which includes providing no option to change the style of Markdown unordered lists. If you want a formatter that is less opinionated, then Prettier is probably not the tool for you.

Looks like I'll just stick with adding .md to my .prettierignore.
