Description

We should have some linting on the API reference content to help fix common errors:

textlint rules:
  • alex
  • max-comma (max 3)
  • terminology
    terms: SMTP, Transmissions API etc., SparkPost, MTA, Message Systems, Momentum, Port25, TPS and other protocols, JSON, PHP and other library languages,
  • write-good
    options: weasel, adverbs, so, illusion, cliches
  • spellchecker
  • stop-words (This might be too aggressive for us)
