* Package name : vale Version : 3.0.0-1 Upstream Author : errata.ai * URL : https://github.com/errata-ai/vale * License : Expat Programming Lang: Go Description : A markup-aware linter for prose built with speed and extensibility in mind. Vale is a command-line tool that brings code-like linting to prose. It's fast, cross-platform (Windows, macOS, and Linux), and highly customizable. Key Features Support for markup: Vale has a rich understanding of many markup formats, allowing it to avoid syntax-related false positives and intelligently exclude code snippets from prose-related rules. A highly customizable extension system: Vale is capable of enforcing your style—be it a standard editorial style guide or a custom in-house set of rules (such as those created by GitLab, Homebrew, Linode, CockroachDB, and Spotify). Easy-to-install, stand-alone binaries: Unlike other tools, Vale doesn't require you to install and configure a particular programming language and its related tooling (such as Python/pip or Node.js/npm). ---- There are a handful of spell-checkers and linters for prose in Debian, but vale is a little different. It's not *only* a spellchecker and does *other* things like checking for styles or allow for extensibility. Similar software include diction(1) and markdownlint, where diction is *really* old (e.g. doesn't know about markdown) and mdl is not very customizable (e.g. it's hard, in my experience to add words to a dictionary). So I'm considering vale instead. -- We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
