Description

This may be out of scope but I'd love to see this tool to be able to automatic fix issues, this makes for many users the difference between ignoring issues and actually fixing them. I guess most issues are rather easily fixable automatically.

Contributor guide

Explore the existing linter's architecture and implement a fix option that automatically corrects common reStructuredText errors such as indentation, missing blank lines, or invalid directives. Consider safe fixes within the AST.
