VSCode vale

Thanks to all the work previous work from lunaryorn, this is a new maintained fork, with more features to come soon.

Lint documents with Vale in Visual Studio Code.

Prerequisites

Install vale 0.7.2 or newer and make sure that the vale executable is in $PATH.

If your setup does not let you to add vale to $PATH, please open an issue.

If vale is too old the extension fails to activate. In this case please update Vale; the error message will tell you the required version.

Usage

Vale automatically checks a document when you open or save it. Use the Vale: Lint workspace command to check the entire workspace.

Vale always runs from the workspace directory in either case, so if you put a Vale configuration in the workspace directory it will automatically pick it up.

Currently this extension only supports Markdown, reStructuredText, LaTeX and plain text (.txt) documents; please open an issue or a pull request if you need support for more document formats, provided that Vale supports them.
