• Syntactic Prose Analysis - Analyzes text at syntactic levels to apply rules to specific document sections or patterns.
• Vocabulary Management - Maintains lists of accepted and rejected terms to enforce consistent terminology and casing.
• Regex Pattern Matching - Uses a regular expression engine with lookaround support to identify stylistic violations in normalized text.
• Spell and Grammar Checkers - Analyzes written text to correct spelling and stylistic errors using dictionary files.
• Dictionary-Based Validation - Implements dictionary-based spell checking to enforce language-specific morphological rules and identify typos.
• AsciiDoc Support - Analyzes prose within AsciiDoc files while ignoring source code blocks and literals.
• Grammar Rule Enforcement - Analyzes sequences of tokens and metadata to identify and flag grammatical errors.
• Markup and Structure Parsers - Analyzes structured markup like Markdown and HTML to exclude code snippets and avoid false positives.
• Custom Editorial Tooling - Enables creation of tailored linguistic rules and vocabulary lists using YAML and regex.
• Document Quality Validations - Verifies linguistic integrity by checking spelling, repeated words, and readability metrics.
• Markup To HTML Converters - Normalizes various markup formats into a common HTML representation using XSLT to apply unified linting rules.
• Prohibited Phrase Detection - Identifies specific words, phrases, or regular expression patterns in text to flag them for editorial review.

• Style Guide Enforcers - Automatically enforces editorial style guides and spelling consistency across various markup formats.
• YAML Style Guides - Provides a YAML-based engine for defining and enforcing editorial style rules across documents.
• Prose Block Detection - Identifies and excludes specific sections of prose from linting to prevent false positives in non-prose regions.
• Comment Markup Support - Treats markup embedded within source code comments as a standalone format for linting.
• Prose Replacement Suggestions - Provides a list of alternative phrases or words to replace detected style violations.
• Readability Metric Enforcement - Evaluates prose using readability formulas and triggers alerts when thresholds are met.
• Scope-Based Content Filtering - Assigns identifiers to document sections to selectively apply or ignore rules based on context.
• Terminology Consistency Enforcements - Prevents multiple variations of the same word or phrase from appearing in the same scope.
• Git Hook Automations - Integrates with Git hook frameworks to automate prose style checks before code is committed.
• Glob-Based Rule Overrides - Applies specific style guides and ignore patterns to files using glob-based path matching.
• Inline Linting Controls - Controls the execution of style checks within files using inline comment directives.
• Inline Text Ignoring - Uses regular expressions to exclude specific inline-level text segments from linting.
• Language Server Protocol Integrations - Provides real-time writing diagnostics and style suggestions directly within a text editor or IDE.
• LSP Editor Integrations - Implements the Language Server Protocol to provide real-time diagnostics and style suggestions directly in the editor.
• Configuration Merging Strategies - Combines project-specific settings with global configuration files using specific override and append rules.
