Is It Possible to Lint a Specific AsciiDoc Table Configuration with Vale?

[p0fi]

Given I have an AsciiDoc file which contains a various tables.

[options="header", valign="middle"]
|=== 
|Column 1 |Column 2 |Column 3 |Column 4 

|Cell in column 1 
|Cell in column 2
|Cell in column 3
|Cell in column 4
|=== 

Is there a way to force the configuration of the table to be done in a specific way? In the table above the config is [options="header", valign="middle"]. If the configuration looks different lets say [width="99%",frame="all",options="header", cols="^,<,^,^"] the rule should flag that as an error.

Is this possible today?

The answer here is really the same as #620; you can use scope: raw match against the raw AsciiDoc, but there's nothing really AsciiDoc-specific about this.

The thing is that this seems impossible to achieve via regex. So I thought there might be better support for such things since value should be syntax aware and might be able to deconstruct the table config in tokens over which could be iterated. Regex is pretty limited here I think.

Vale is not (and doesn't strive to be) an AsciiDoc linter, so there's not going to be "better" support for things like this.

Fair point
