@nschonni Hi Nick, This public PR 2451 looks pretty good. I looked through about 25% of it. The hassle is that the GitHub Differ often tells us only that there was a change somewhere in this or that large paragraph; without highlighting the changed characters in the paragraph. It is therefore a tiring challenge for the human eye to be thorough.
We are considering approving this PR.

@v-thepet Hi Theano, This PR 2451 could be closely related to CATS work you had been doing. Could you spend 5-10 minutes looking at this 'Files changed' tab, and then enter a new Comment here to say whether your samplings suggest we Approve vs Disapprove? If you cannot work on this type of PR, I will understand, just tell me so. Thanks.

PS: this is the script part that I mentioned used for this https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs-authoring/tree/develop/docs-markdown#cleanup-scripts
You can see what regexes it runs here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs-authoring/blob/9feda42b85b962e0418dd46fb2effb815f14a9f9/docs-markdown/src/controllers/cleanup-controller.ts#L536 in case you want to run it manually instead

@v-thepet Theano, have you had a chance to look at Gene's question on this PR? Thanks!

Due to the many merge conflicts, I think we'll need to close this, and run again in a new copy of the repository. @nschonni could you do that, and open a new PR? I'll watch for it and review it quickly.

[nschonni]

I'll rebase this and ping you when I'm home

[nschonni]

@MikeRayMSFT I've rebase this and force pushed to resolve the conflicts

@nschonni @MightyPen @MikeRayMSFT @rothja - Private repo PR 11506 replaces this PR. We'll validate the updated URLs on staging in the private repo PR and reach out to content owners if needed. We'll close this PR now. Thanks!
