[Beta] ES6 Section: some missing tests and titles, text needs formatting

Challenge Name

This is a generic issue to help track a few QA tasks for the ES6 section.

Issue Description

The challenges in the ES6 section are all listed below. Each one can benefit from some formatting tweaks in the challenge copy. Also, the challenge titles should follow the [Verb] [Object Clause] format that’s used elsewhere (e.g. “Use Conditional Logic with If Statements” or “Comment Your JavaScript Code”) and two challenges are missing titles. There are a number of challenges with placeholder tests that need to be written.

Formatting suggestions for the challenge copy:

• any JS keyword, operator, or method name, etc. should go in code tags. This puts the term in pink-colored text (or green, in night mode). The first instance of a term that is being defined can go in <dfn> tags
• multi-line code examples should go in blockquote tags, where lines are separated with the br tag. See this example in the code base.
• Replace the “Instructions” line with a single <hr> tag (the <hr> should be on its own line in the seed file)
• Notes use <strong>Note</strong><br>Rest of note text... format

One person does not have to do all of these changes. Comment below which challenge(s) you’d like to work on (UPDATE: given some issues writing tests using regex for these challenges noted below it’s okay if you just want to work on fixing formatting). Then after the PR is accepted, you can check off what’s done. Thank you!

I am working on reformatting, re-titling (where needed), and fixing grammatical errors in the first four challenges for this section (“Problems with the var keyword” through “An Immutable Object a const does not make”). For now, I will focus on reformatting the instructions to conform with the style of the previous section, Basic Javascript. If there is a fix for the regex test issue, I may be able to help fill in some of the missing tests.

@HKuz I’ve noticed that attributes (ex. text-transform) in the titles of the beta challenges have an odd formatting. Currently, they are like this: ex. Use the Text-transform Property...

I think this should be: Use the text-transform Property...

where the attribute is lowercase in the title. If you agree, I’ll add it to your list above and fix all with a PR. Happy to hear others’ opinions on this.
