spurious warnings about question or exclamation marks in a header about markdownlint

[DavidAnson]

What do you think is wrong here?

The documentation for MD026 explicitly calls out that it will trigger for ? and !:
https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/blob/master/doc/Rules.md#md026---trailing-punctuation-in-header

If you do not like this rule, it can be disabled completely - or you can edit the list of characters it looks for (again, see documentation above).

Fair enough. :) For what it's worth, this rule came from the Ruby implementation. I'll admit it's not my absolute favorite rule, but I think it's a good guideline in general, it's easy to turn off if you don't want it, and it's easy to customize when needed. I'm not inclined to break compatibility with the Ruby implementation over something like this, so unless you find that the rule is behaving wrongly, I will recommend turning it off. Sorry for the inconvenience!

what i think is wrong here is that the defaults are not sensible enough. :)

having a question mark at the end of a header is quite common (e.g. faqs), and requiring explicit configuration for it seems backwards to me.

[wbolster]

yeah i understand you took the rules from another project (unsure why there are 2 implementations though), but i was not aware that you aim for keeping those rules unchanged, even when they do not make sense as defaults.

thanks for the explanation.

Hello, worth noting, that headings in writings can include question marks an exclamation marks. Yes, one of the more strange settings.
