# `MD048` - Code fence style

Tags: `code`

Aliases: `code-fence-style`

Parameters:

- `style`: Code fence style (`string`, default `consistent`, values `backtick`
  / `consistent` / `tilde`)

This rule is triggered when the symbols used in the document for fenced code
blocks do not match the configured code fence style:

````markdown
```ruby
# Fenced code
```

~~~ruby
# Fenced code
~~~
````

To fix this issue, use the configured code fence style throughout the
document:

````markdown
```ruby
# Fenced code
```

```ruby
# Fenced code
```
````

The configured list style can be a specific symbol to use (backtick, tilde), or
can require that usage be consistent within the document.

Rationale: Consistent formatting makes it easier to understand a document.
