crusty code examples

Subject of the feature

Examples are not standardized; & use older JS standards

Problem

Using
var rehype = require('rehype')
has mostly been supplanted by
const rehype = require('rehype')
I'm not sure if everyone is ready for ESModules yet; there is still some friction, but maybe that option should be listed also?

& this is only 1 example. It is very confusing to me to see many ways this system can be syntaxed; I'd rather just see 1 way that is harmonized thoughout all codebases & docs.

Isn’t that kinda how it currently is: everything uses vars and requires. Except that you’d like to use newer syntax?

Gonna close this. I think the whole of unified, hundreds of projects, uses a pretty strict and very consistent code style, so I don’t get how you come to “It is very confusing to me to see many ways this system can be syntaxed; I'd rather just see 1 way that is harmonized thoughout all codebases & docs”, I think that’s the case currently.

Whether to use const or var, or cjs or esm, are different issues
