Lint inline Markdown JS

[XhmikosR]

This will ensure consistency. We should try doing this after #2523 and use the same config as upstream.

Looks like it can be done with the markdown plugin https://github.com/eslint/eslint-plugin-markdown
I tried it with a --fix locally, but didn't PR anything since I find the "standard" config kind of makes a mess of the code

[XhmikosR]

Yup, this should go after #2523

What's the status of this issue, is it still something that needs to be worked on?

If so, can you share an example or two of what needs linting?

[XhmikosR]

IMO yeah. Every .md file needs to be linted.

[carterbancroft]

Roger. I'm new here and just trying to get more context so please bear with me.

So, is there no linting on markdown files at all right now? From the code (and your PR here: https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org/pull/2557/files) it looks like there are markdown linting rules in place and linting scripts in package.json. Is this not happening?

Or, is it just the inline javascript within .md files that needs linting? If so any chance you could link me to a specific code block of something that needs linting as an example.

[XhmikosR]

This is issue is for linting JS code in the markdown files. You can search the locale files for the following:

```js
#or
```javascript

There are hundreds of instances. Ideally we should use the same linting used in the main repo so that we are consistent, so this might need to be done along with #2523

[carterbancroft]

OK gotcha, thanks.

So am I understanding correctly that there are still more linting rules from the node repo that should be implemented in this repo? I made the (probably faulty) assumption that this was the last step since this is the only remaining issue referenced in #2523. The rest are merged PRs.

[XhmikosR]

TBH, I'm not aware of the internals in the upstream repo. I know they use eslint while here we use standard, which is also using eslint under the hood.

[carterbancroft]

I see, so it sounds like #2523 should be figured out before there's any movement on this one. Maybe I should move conversation over there to try to get some context on that?

[XhmikosR]

Not sure which one should be tackled first.

I don't know that it matters which one is done first, although I guess I'd default to doing #2523 first.

[carterbancroft]

Thanks, and just to clarify, this issue and #2523 won't be made moot with the website redesign, yeah?
