Coding standards / whitespace for wp-admin/js/word-count.js

[dougwollison]

Patch to come

[dougwollison]

Initial changes: spacing, braces, equals, keys fixed and globals declared. Also fixed what looks like a syntax error with one of the regexs.

Thanks for the patch. A couple of concerns.

If we want to change one of the regexs, we should ideally do it through it's own tickets and create unit tests as a part of that. That specific regex has been there for 3 years (since [17936] )

All the formatting changes make the svn history much harder to follow for this file. While that is a concern that these jshint changes themselves are going to do that as well, the benefits of having a passing jshint for preventing bugs and enforcing many parts of our standard out ways this cost. To quote @nacin as we do in our style guide, ​“Code refactoring should not be done just because we can.”. I think it's fine on lines we are changing anyways and in general that is the best way for us to go about cleaning up our files.

I've submitted an updated patch with just the jshint related changes

I ended up fixing word-count.js in [26209] because I thought it wasn't claimed (accounting error).

Renaming this ticket to reflect whitespace changes.

You're right; if the regex works then ignore that change and use yours. I only noticed it anyway because it was screwing with my editor's syntax highlighting for the inline comment on that line.
