## Manage rules

By default all rules are enabled, but can be restricted by options. On plugin
load all its rules are enabled automatically.

```js
import MarkdownIt from 'markdown-it'

// Activate/deactivate rules, with currying
const md = new MarkdownIt()
  .disable(['link', 'image'])
  .enable(['link'])
  .enable('image');

// Enable everything
const md = new MarkdownIt({
  html: true,
  linkify: true,
  typographer: true,
});
```

You can find all rules in sources:

- [`ParserCore`](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it/blob/master/src/parser_core.ts)
- [`ParserBlock`](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it/blob/master/src/parser_block.ts)
- [`ParserInline`](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it/blob/master/src/parser_inline.ts)
