vale-style-authoring-formats

To enforce Vale style rules across multiple markup languages, this Skill supports Markdown, MDX, HTML, AsciiDoc, and reStructuredText by leveraging external tools like asciidoctor and rst2html to process and lint documents.

Yes, you can lint front matter in MDX files using Vale. This functionality ensures that front matter in Markdown, AsciiDoc, reStructuredText, MDX, and Org files adheres to configured Vale standards.

Yes, Vale style enforcement supports linting source code comments across multiple programming languages, allowing you to maintain documentation quality and consistency directly within your codebase.

You can configure Vale behavior inline without editing the main configuration file by using comment-based configuration, which allows fine-grained control over Vale's behavior directly through inline comments in supported formats.

To process AsciiDoc and XML files with Vale, external dependencies like asciidoctor for AsciiDoc and xsltproc for XML are required, enabling Vale to parse and enforce styles on these specific formats.

If your reStructuredText document is not linting correctly with Vale, ensure the external rst2html tool is properly installed and configured, as Vale relies on this dependency to process reStructuredText files.
