Rake tasks

I'm going to be adding this to our Rake tasks, but I'm just doing the simplest solution: sh "bundle exec mdl"

It would be nice to have better Rake integration. It probably can already be done, but some improved documentation would be nice.

I'd really like to have this as well; we're looking to auto-lint our markdown files with travis. Rake is the easiest way to add that.

markdownlint was always intended to be a command line-only tool and not really used as a library or called directly from rake. That said, if it's just a matter of updating documentation that seems simple enough.

I suspect that if this is done, it will also be possible to speed up the cli tests which currently run markdownlint via the shell in the same way as your workaround.

We use the following rake task:

desc 'Linting for all markdown files'
task 'markdown_lint' do
  require 'mdl'

  ARGV = [ 'site', 'documentation', 'README.md', ]
  MarkdownLint::run
end

However, this is a really nasty workaround in my opinion, so I’d love to be able to get rid of it.

Would MarkdownLint.run([ 'site', 'documentation', 'README.md' ]) be an improvement? That's more or less what I've been doing.
