#9611 indicated that trailing whitespace had crept into the docs.

Ugh. See https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/.editorconfig#L12-L13 -- the problem is, for whatever silly reason, that this actually means something in markdown.

I think it makes a newline break, but I forget.

FWIW I find that incredibly silly and think we should ignore that bit of markdown.

Ugh, indeed. I will review the docs visually for every change here to ensure that the whitespace was semantic, not accidental.

+1 for dropping that option. I was initially for it, but I'm not aware that anyone really uses it. There's always <br> to force a linebreak if necessary (which is essentially what it does).

@Fishrock123 I'm as hazy on Markdown as everyone else, but I think the newline is only for two spaces at the end of the line. I don't think a single space at the end of a file achieves anything.

markdown had a dispensation because 2 or more trailing spaces triggers a
new paragraph. There are no examples of that usage in Node, all trailing
whitespace found were mistakes, and the dispensation is now removed.

I manually reviewed this, no trailing whitespace was semantic, and would have to have been 2 or more spaces to be semantic, thanks @gib for the reference. I PRed a removal of the .editorconfig section that you pointed out, @Fishrock123: #9676
