Styles

This repository contains a library of all officially supported styles for Vale and Vale Server.

Vale	Vale Server
Vale is an open-source, command-line linter for prose. It's fast, syntax-aware, and extensible.	Vale Server is a commercial desktop application (macOS and Windows) that enhances and refines the Vale experience.

The benefits of using these styles over their original implementations include:

• [X] Improved support for markup, including the ability to ignore code and target only certain sections of text (e.g., checking headers for a specific capitalization style).
• [X] No need to install and configure npm (Node.js), pip (Python), or other language-specific tools. With Vale, you get all the functionality in a single, standalone binary available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• [X] Easily combine, mismatch, or otherwise customize each style.
