the markdown format for our skillmap files uses key value pairs like this:
this works well for LTR languages, but text editors don't really handle RTL languages mixed with non RTL languages on the same line very well and things get confusing. this PR expands our skillmap syntax so that you can specify the localizable fields (name and description) inside of code blocks much like the intro modal. it's not the prettiest thing in the world, but it does make it so that we don't have RTL and LTR text on the same line anymore!
see microsoft/pxt-arcade#7207 for how this looks in practice
