We are not removing the trailing slashes. Doing so would require forking Prettier. The MDN Web Docs team has decided not to fork Prettier as it would introduce a big maintenance burden that is not sustainable. Concerns can be addressed to the Prettier project.

@estelle not exactly, there’s a Prettier plugin that overrides this setting. So, if we ever reconsider this decision, it would be possible to implement it.
The discussion is about the examples and content. As far as I have checked, prettier is not applied to the HTML template for the website.

There’s a .prettierrc config and a test running prettier check in the packgage.json. We apply the same code style across all MDN projects.
