README.md


-```
+```shell


I disagree, but I'm open to be persuaded. Bike shed time, I guess but here are the reasons:

This is a shell command. It may be bash. Or it maybe csh or zsh or tcsh or even Windows PowerShell. There is nothing bash-specific about curl.

If shell is not more appropriate than bash here, then when would it ever be more appropriate?

This is more of an argument that it doesn't matter than that one or the other is right, but bash is an alias for shell in the syntax highlighting tool used by GitHub Flavored Markdown so there is no difference in the rendered output of one versus the other.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

This should be either «```console» or commands should not start with «$».

Improve markdown practices in README: * consistent header indicators * consistent emphasis indicators * wrap bare URLs in `<` and `>` * wrap at 80 chars * specifying language in fenced code

README.md

 $ curl -O https://nodejs.org/dist/vx.y.z/SHASUMS256.txt
 ```

 To check that a downloaded file matches the checksum, run
 it through `sha256sum` with a command such as:

-```
+```shell

README.md


 The full set of trusted release keys can be imported by running:

-```
+```console


This either shouldn't be «```console» or the lines should start with a prompt like «$ » or «> ».
Or this is going to be formatted like text output.

I would just use sh or shell here (in this specific block), perhaps.

ChALkeR · 2016-08-04T03:25:04Z

One issue with a code block language specification (console → shell), everything else LGTM.

Trott · 2016-08-04T03:31:22Z

@ChALkeR Switched that one instance to shell. Thanks.

ChALkeR · 2016-08-04T03:35:14Z

@Trott Ah, noticed one more thing.

$ gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net \
  --recv-keys DD8F2338BAE7501E3DD5AC78C273792F7D83545D

is inaccurate and gets wrong highlight.

It should be either shell without the $ to allow copy-pasting the whole thing:

gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net \
  --recv-keys DD8F2338BAE7501E3DD5AC78C273792F7D83545D

or console with a > on the second line to depicture the actual console behaviour and serve as an example:

$ gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net \
>  --recv-keys DD8F2338BAE7501E3DD5AC78C273792F7D83545D

Trott · 2016-08-04T03:40:53Z

@ChALkeR I suppose another option is just to get rid of the line break and have it be a single line by itself. Does that work for you?

ChALkeR · 2016-08-04T04:03:54Z

@Trott Yes, it does, it doesn't break the maximum-line-length rule.

It does break a guideline rule regarding the sources code style, but there is no other way to achieve a similar display and this looks like a valid reason for an exception. We already have those in other places (long links, for example).

LGTM.
