[question/docs]: suppress `strict`

[Alexander Akait]

In docs often avoiding use strict directive. Should we suppress this by default or documentation this? Looks even https://eslint.org/ doesn't use use strict in docs.

You're right, "use strict"; is extremely uncommon in Markdown files, so we should either suppress it or put something in the docs. The difference between it and the two always-suppressed rules (eol-last and unicode-bom) is that those two are impossible to have in a Markdown code block, whereas someone could choose to follow strict if they really wanted to. Given that, I think it's preferable to add a bit in the readme showing how to disable strict just in Markdown files, something like this:

// .eslintrc.json
{
	// ...
	"overrides": [{
		"files": ["**/*.md"],
		"rules": {
			"strict": "off"
		}
	}]
}

What do you think?
