Description
LanguageTool [_is not_](https://github.com/languagetool-org/languagetool/issues/445#issuecomment-236883920) proper for handling Markdown content. The presence of the tool in the command line will cause ALE by default to render Markdown files full of irrelevant warnings, simply because LanguageTool doesn't understand the syntax, it can only proofread plain text.
I don't use AsciiDoc, but it may be in the same boat, or worse.
I recommend that ALE changes this and leave LanguageTool for plain text files only.
To use LanguageTool for Markdown, it's best to employ a wrapper, as attempted at #3376 with TeXtidote.
