Usage

Example usage:

import vale_cli.vale_config as vale_config

release_note = "An error with the WhizBang API caused incorrect processing of data, which stopped you from using certain routes in the API. This fix corrects the logic around data processing. You can now process data without errors."
vale = vale_config.ValeConfig("/path/to/.vale.ini")
output = vale.check_text(release_note, ext='.adoc')
print(output)

Output:
