Add support to YAML syntax for the `.markdownlintrc` config file about markdownlint-cli HOT 4 OPEN

and technically allows comments to be written

It seems like a JSON ~/.markdownlintrc with comments could actually work...

Comments are stripped from JSON config via strip-json-comments.

...but it doesn't work in practice. Maybe if the current version of rc were used?

I can't actually tell which version is being used currently, since it's not listed in package.json and there isn't a package-lock.json committed.

from markdownlint-cli.

It's run-con which replaced rc:

And here's a link to package-lock: https://github.com/igorshubovych/markdownlint-cli/blob/master/package-lock.json

from markdownlint-cli.

Any down side of supporting yaml? From a technical PoV it's quite simple to add support to it AFAIK 😮

from markdownlint-cli.

.markdownlintrc is a weird "it can be anything" file that is not supported by CLI2 or the VS Code extension. (Both support YAML via .markdownlint.yaml and similar.) I'd prefer not to invest further in this file format.
