Hello. Thanks for opening a PR on Exercism. We are currently in a phase of our journey where we have paused community contributions to allow us to take a breather and redesign our community model. You can learn more in this blog post. As such, all issues and PRs in this repository are being automatically closed. That doesn't mean we're not interested in your ideas, or that if you're stuck on something we don't want to help. The best place to discuss things is with our community on the Exercism Community Forum. You can use this link to copy this into a new topic there. Note: If this PR has been pre-approved, please link back to this PR on the forum thread and a maintainer or staff member will reopen it. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
These lines do not match the (technical) style of the lines replaced.

@NateEag Thanks for opening this :) I've left a suggestion. |
@kotp I actually think we don't want to do this here as this text is never rendered so the rules don't apply. Instead the text is shown as is, with normal paragraph formatting, is much more readable I think. |

Thanks :) |

No problems. It is not that important, this file does not churn like others can. But the reasons are not only for rendering, but for "a sentence change should not need to show diff for the entire paragraph" so the reasoning is not only for rendering purposes, they are for maintenance and diff noise as well. |
