Understanding formats, file extensions, and format associations

[alecthegeek]

Consider a project that has both Hugo Markdown and plain Markdown.

I want each one to use different style guides.

The only way I have made this "work" is by associating the .hugo file extension with an unused Markdown extension (.markdn) and then create two sections like this.

; Third party style guides for download
Packages = Google, Readability, Hugo

[formats]
hugo = markdn

; Settings for Hugo Markdown Files
[*.markdn]
BasedOnStyles = Vale, ProjectStyle
Vale.Spelling = NO

[*.md]
BasedOnStyles = Vale, Google, ProjectStyle
Vale.Spelling = NO

Is this the correct approach? Is it even doing what I think it's doing?

Thanks

You can assign a format and still reference the file by its real extension:

[formats]
hugo = md

[*.hugo]
...

Thanks for the reply.

Does that mean that if I have a Hugo file that used Asciidoc markup I can do this?

[formats]
hugo = asciidoc

[*.hugo]
...

Yes.
