+  The following options can be used to configure the `vale` linter for text
+  files.
+
+g:ale_text_vale_executable                         *g:ale_text_vale_executable*
+  Type: String
+  Default: 'vale'
+
+  This option controls which executable is used for running Vale. Set it to an
+  absolute path or a different command name if needed.
+
+g:ale_text_vale_options                               *g:ale_text_vale_options*
+  Type: String
+  Default: ''
+
+  Extra command-line options to pass to the Vale executable.
+
+  Example:
+
+    let g:ale_text_vale_options = '--minAlertLevel=warning'
