XML

Learn how Vale handles XML content.

XML is supported through the external program xsltproc. To install, see:

• Chocolatey (Windows): choco install xsltproc.
• Homebrew (macOS): brew install libxslt.
• Debian/Ubuntu/apt-based systems: apt-get install xsltproc.

You’ll need to ensure that the xsltproc executable is available in your $PATH.

The supported extension is .xml.

You also need to provide a version 1.0 XSL Transformation (XSLT) for converting to HTML:

.vale.ini

[*.xml]
Transform = docbook-xsl-snapshot/html/docbook.xsl

Once converted, Vale will follow the same rules as it does for HTML.
