Description

It appears that the documentation UseCompatibleSyntax.md is out of date. I say this because the markdown file lists 6.0 as the newest version that can be checked, but this page shows 6.2:
DevBlogs Post About PSScriptAnalyzer

Also, I presume 7.0 is also supported by this point?

Can this page be updated to show the versions that can be checked? Thanks in advance!
