-
-## 4. Writing Documentation
-
-If you are adding new linters, changing the API, adding new options, etc., you
-_must_ write some documentation describing it in the `doc/ale.txt` file.  New
-linters _must_ be added to the `README.md` file too, so other users can get a
-quick overview of the supported tools.
-
-<a name="documenting-new-linters"></a>
-
-### 4.i Documenting New Linters
-
-If you add a new linter to the project, edit the table in the `README.md` file,
-and edit the list of linters at the top of the `doc/ale.txt` file. The linters
-should be sorted vertically in lexicographic (alphabetical) order by the
-programming language name or filetype, and the tools for each language should
-be sorted in lexicographic order horizontally. Sorting in this manner is a fair
-manner of presenting all of the information in an easy to scan way, without
-giving some unfair preference to any particular tool or language.
-
-<a name="editing-online-documentation"></a>
-
-### 4.ii Editing the Online Documentation
-
-The "online documentation" file used for this project lives in `doc/ale.txt`.
-This is the file used for generating `:help` text inside Vim itself. There are
-some guidlines to follow for this file.
-
-1. Keep all text within a column size of 79 characters, inclusive.
-2. Open a section with 79 `=` or `-` characters, for headings and subheadings.
-3. Sections should have a _single_ blank line before or after.
-4. Between descriptions of variables/functions/commands, use _two_ blank lines.
-5. Up-indent the description of a variable/function/command by two spaces.
-6. Place tags at the ends of lines, with the final characters on column 79.
-   All of the tags should line up perfectly on the same column as you scan
-   down through the document.
-7. Keep the table of contents balanced so the longest tag link ends on column
-   79, and so all links line up perfectly on their first character, on the
-   left.
-
-<a name="documenting-linter-options"></a>
-
-### 4.iii Documenting Linter Options
-
-For documenting new linter options, please add a new sub-section under the
-"Linter Specific Options" section describing all of the global options added
-for each linter, and what the default values of the options are. All global
-options for linters should be set to some default value. This will allow users
-to look up the default value easily by typing `:echo g:ale_...`.
-
-<a name="in-case-of-busses"></a>
-
-## 5. In Case of Busses
-
-Should the principal author of the ALE project and all collaborators with the
-required access needed to properly administrate the project on GitHub or any
-other website either perish or disappear, whether by tragic traffic accident
-or government adduction, etc., action should be taken to ensure that the
-project continues. If no one is left to administer the project where it is
-hosted, please fork the project and nominate someone capable to administer it.
-Preferably, in such an event, a single fork of the project will replace the
-original, and life will go on, except the life of whoever vanished, because
-then they will probably be dead.
-
-Should w0rp suddenly disappear, then he was probably killed in a traffic
-accident, or the government finally decided to kill him and make it look like
-suicide. In the latter event, please subvert said government and restore
-order to the universe, and ensure peace for mankind.

-### 5.x. How can I check JSX files with both stylelint and eslint?
-
-If you configure ALE options correctly in your vimrc file, and install
-the right tools, you can check JSX files with stylelint and eslint.
-
-First, install eslint and install stylelint with
-[https://github.com/styled-components/stylelint-processor-styled-components](stylelint-processor-styled-components).
-
-Supposing you have installed both tools correctly, configure your .jsx files so
-`jsx` is included in the filetype. You can use an `autocmd` for this.
-
-```vim
-augroup FiletypeGroup
-    autocmd!
-    au BufNewFile,BufRead *.jsx set filetype=javascript.jsx
-augroup END
-```
-
-Supposing the filetype has been set correctly, you can set the following
-options in your vimrc file:
-
-```vim
-let g:ale_linters = {'jsx': ['stylelint', 'eslint']}
-let g:ale_linter_aliases = {'jsx': 'css'}
-```
-
-ALE will alias the `jsx` filetype so it uses the `css` filetype linters, and
-use the original Array of selected linters for `jsx` from the `g:ale_linters`
-object. All available linters will be used for the filetype `javascript`, and
-no linter will be run twice for the same file.
-
-<a name="faq-my-battery-is-sad"></a>
-
-### 5.xi. Will this plugin eat all of my laptop battery power?
-
-ALE takes advantage of the power of various tools to check your code. This of
-course means that CPU time will be used to continuously check your code. If you
-are concerned about the CPU time ALE will spend, which will of course imply
-some cost to battery life, you can adjust your settings to make your CPU do
-less work.
-
-First, consider increasing the delay before which ALE will run any linters
-while you type. ALE uses a timeout which is cancelled and reset every time you
-type, and this delay can be increased so linters are run less often. See
-`:help g:ale_lint_delay` for more information.
-
-If you don't wish to run linters while you type, you can disable that
-behaviour. Set `g:ale_lint_on_text_changed` to `never` or `normal`. You won't
-get as frequent error checking, but ALE shouldn't block your ability to edit a
-document after you save a file, so the asynchronous nature of the plugin will
-still be an advantage.
-
-If you are still concerned, you can turn the automatic linting off altogether,
-including the option `g:ale_lint_on_enter`, and you can run ALE manually with
-`:call ale#Lint()`.
