plugin is not working here [problem and workaround identified inside this issue]

[iambumblehead]

Hello,

eslint-plugin-markdown seems to have stop working for my project about a year ago, here. I tried fiddling with the .eslintrc.json but haven't succeeded in getting the plugin to lint the README.md for the project.

The project .eslintrc.json is here and includes "plugin:markdown/recommended" in the "extends" list,

  "extends": [
    "eslint:recommended",
    "plugin:markdown/recommended"    
  ],  

Any suggestions or advice are welcome.

I have found that the plugin works when I make the following change to the README; replace "``` javascript" with "```js" (remove the space and use "js" rather than "javascript")

Emacs' markdown plugin formats the codeblock as above, with the extra space character and using the full "javascript" name and I don't know which is correct, but I can update my README to the format needed by this plugin.
