 ## Skipping Blocks
 
 Sometimes it can be useful to have code blocks marked with `js` even though they don't contain valid JavaScript syntax, such as commented JSON blobs that need `js` syntax highlighting. Standard `eslint-disable` comments only silence rule reporting, but ESLint still reports any syntax errors it finds. In cases where a code block should not even be parsed, insert a non-standard `<!-- eslint-skip -->` comment before the block, and this plugin will hide the following block from ESLint. Neither rule nor syntax errors will be reported.
 
-    There are comments in this JSON, so we use `js` syntax for better
-    highlighting. Skip the block to prevent warnings about invalid syntax.
