Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/239

Currently when run via the CLI as npx markdownlint src/ --config .markdownlintrc the script fails with

Cannot read or parse config file .markdownlintrc: Unable to parse '.markdownlintrc'; Unexpected token / in JSON at position 169; missed comma between flow collection entries at line 10, column 12:
        "MD046": false,
               ^

is there a way this could be fixed by switching to a JSON5 compatible parser or maybe just strip them out instead of failing?

This is an issue with the CLI project which is found here: https://github.com/igorshubovych/markdownlint-cli

I can’t move this issue, so will ask you to please open one there instead. When doing so, please include the .markdownlintrc file you are using - the details above aren’t clearly a comment issue to me.

Thanks!
