Hi @dicearr! Thank you for a try to improve the docs.

We lint code fragments in docs (you can run node tools\eslint\bin\eslint.js --rulesdir tools/eslint-rules/ --ext=.md doc from the project root with your branch to check the conformity).

Currently, there are some issues with the linter:

  1. Lack of semicolons.
  2. Spaces between a function (method) name and parentheses.

You can fix them in a new commit or amend the existing one.

LGTM with some nits.


Decoding buffers is a common task, for instance, when using transformers whose
input is a string. This is not a trivial process when using multi-byte
characters encoding. Implement it within [Writable][] implies some performance

I would add: "...multi-byte characters encoding, such as UTF-8."

I would remove the sentence "Implement it within Writable implies some performance regressions".

Then:

"The following example shows how to decode multi-byte strings using StringDecoder and Writable."

this._data += this._decoder.end();
callback();
}
}

it would be good to add a quick example on how to use this.

w.write(euro[0]);
w.end(euro[1]);

console.log(w._data); // currency: €

can you please rename _data  into data? accessing a prefixed property from outside is encouraging to tinker with the stream private properties, which is something we would like to avoid.
