+In order to facilitate migrations from using standalone linters to super-linter,
+the following linters don't follow the convention described above in this

+configuration files. To configure these linters, see:

+- [Prettier](https://prettier.io/docs/en/configuration)
+- [Commitlint](https://commitlint.js.org/reference/configuration.html#config-via-file)

 Some of the linters that super-linter provides can be configured to disable
 certain rules or checks, and to ignore certain files or part of them.
