Modifying non-inclusive words in mdlint

Fuchsia uses mdlint, a Markdown linter to enforce specific rules for documentation in the Fuchsia Source Tree. mdlint has a non-inclusive language detector that uses a JSON file of non-inclusive words and their respective alternatives.

To update, remove, or add to the non-inclusive language list:

{% dynamic if user.is_googler %}

Note: You may need to modify another file to update the linting tools used for Fuchsia. See go/fuchsia-non-inclusive-list.

{% dynamic endif %}

Update the list

  1. Open /tools/mdlint/rules/respectful_code_words.json.
  2. To add or modify suggestions for a non-inclusive word, append a comma and write your new suggestion. For example:
"master": "main, primary,{{ '<var>' }}new suggestion{{ '</var>' }}",

Remove from list

  1. Open /tools/mdlint/rules/respectful_code_words.json.

  2. Delete the entire line containing the non-inclusive word and suggestions.

    Note: If you delete the last word in the list, remove the comma from the new final word line.

Add to list

  1. Open /tools/mdlint/rules/respectful_code_words.json.
  2. Add a newline between the words based upon the alphabetical order of the words in the list.

  3. Add your word with its respective inclusive suggestions. For example:

    Note: If your new word is at placed at the end of the JSON, do not end the line with a comma (,).

"{{ '<var>' }}non-inclusive word{{ '</var>' }}": "{{ '<var>' }}first inclusive suggestion, second inclusive suggestion...{{ '</var>' }}",
