Microsoft Build Status Vale version license

This repository contains a Vale-compatible implementation of the Microsoft Writing Style Guide (LICENSE).

The goal is to showcase how to build and maintain a full-featured style guide for Vale, including many examples of using extension points and a test suite using Cucumber, yamllint, and Travis CI.

Getting Started

❗ Microsoft requires Vale >= 1.0.0. ❗

Download the latest release, copy the "Microsoft" directory to your StylesPath, and include it in your configuration file:

# This goes in a file named either `.vale.ini` or `_vale.ini`.
StylesPath = path/to/some/directory
MinAlertLevel = warning # suggestion, warning or error

# Only Markdown and .txt files; change to whatever you're using.
[*.{md,txt}]
# List of styles to load.
BasedOnStyles = Microsoft

See Usage for more information.

Repository Structure

/Microsoft
The YAML-based rule implementations that make up our style.
/fixtures
The individual unit tests. Each directory should be named after a rule found in /Microsoft and include its own .vale.ini file that isolates its target rule.
/features
The Cucumber Step Definitions we use to test our fixtures. Essentially, we use the aruba framework to test Vale's output after running it on each of our fixture directories.
