.flake8 config file is ignored

[webartifex]

Hi there. I just tried out your tool as I could really use something like it. Thanks for your efforts and making it public.

Question: It works on *.md files but only spots the default flake8 error classes (mccabe, pyflakes, pycodestyle). I have an extensive .flake8 config file. That is simply ignored. So, all the plugins specified in there do not run in flake8-markdown. That is totally confusing to me.

Before I put more time on this and go through your code, I was wondering if that may be intentional from your side?

@webartifex Hello! Thanks for taking the time to open an issue. Do you know which flake8 is on your path? I cheat a little bit with this library and I call flake8 in a subprocess, so it should use whichever flake8 is on your path.

It's on my to-do list to convert this to a proper plugin so it plays nicely with other flake8 plugins. I might be able to do that soon.

I use flake8 mainly from within a nox session (that is comparable to a tox environment).
Furthermore, I run everything with poetry run as I use poetry to manage the dependencies for my current projects.

If you spend more time on this, maybe take into account that your tool may be called from within some automatically created isolated environment, not the "default" flake8 in a --user location.
