Markdown linting

[mfulton26]

Is Markdown linting out of scope? I think it would be nice to have deno lint address all linting concerns for things that Deno supports/consumes/etc. deno fmt supports Markdown so I think it would be nice if deno lint were to support it too.

There might be some opportunity to reuse and/or learn from https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint-cli2 and https://github.com/DavidAnson/vscode-markdownlint.

I wouldn't say it's out of scope, but the Deno team doesn't have bandwidth to work on this currently. I'll be more than happy to accept contributions though.

I haven't looked yet at any implementation details of deno lint yet. Based on the language usage in the GitHub repository I'm guessing most if not all linting is done in Rust code. Is there a strong preference to keep everything in Rust and/or not depend on 3rd part code from existing Markdown linters? My guess is yes but I don't want to assume. Thank you.

Yes, the current preference is that these rules should be implemented in Rust. You might want to wait until plugin support is added (eye-balling to do it after Deno 2) which should allow to integrate JS based rules.
