Fix Vale prose errors across documentation #3541

edmundmiller · 2025-10-07T02:53:37Z

Summary

Fixed all remaining Vale prose errors across the nf-core website documentation:

Repetition errors: Fixed duplicate words (as as, the the, talk talk, etc.)
Nextflow capitalization: Corrected "nextflow" to "Nextflow" in prose descriptions
Social media handles: Added Vale ignore comments around @nf_core handles

Result: 0 errors remaining (down from 47 errors)

Changes

Fixed 46 documentation files with genuine prose errors
Added Vale ignore comments for legitimate @nf_core social media handles
No changes to code blocks or technical examples

Dependencies

This PR builds on #TBD (fix/vale-configuration-improvements) which improved the Vale rules themselves to be context-aware.

Test Plan

Ran Vale against all documentation
Verified 0 errors remain
Checked that code examples are not affected
Verified prose reads naturally with corrections

let's drop the Astro capitlization rule and mdx parsing needs to be fixed (shouldn't touch code blocks or URLs)

tried myself to figure out file extensions, but failed, maybe we just remove the "Astro"-rule?

 # Build big

-Nearly two years ago we rebuilt the nf-core website from the ground up with [Astro](https://astro.build/). The website is now comprised of over 6500 pages, featuring content for every pipeline release as well as blog posts, documentation, events and more. All these pages are built and deployed to the live server twice a day, in addition to building previews for every pull request against the main branch. The build process has become longer and longer as the site grows, eventually took over 10 minutes. We could reduce the build time a bit, but more than 5 minutes is an annoyingly long time to wait for a deployment preview, and also a waste a lot of resources when the majority of pages are unchanged.

even in a URL??
I have a feeling that the mdx parser is broken

okay, will not look at the other mdx files until we figured their parsing out
