Vim file types `asciidoc` and `asciidoctor`

[refaelsh]

Hi all,

All the ASciidoc tools/linters/fixers that are listed here: ALE Supported Languages and Tools, only work when the file type that detected by Vim is asciidoc, but I would prefer them to work also when the file type is asciidoctor.

Thanks all.

P.S.
Currently, in my Neovim, if I open a file with the *.adoc extension, it is recognized by Vim as file type asciidoctor.

P.P.S.
How does Vim knows if its a AsciiDoctor file or an AsciiDoc file?

@refaelsh add this to your configuration:

let g:ale_linter_aliases = {
      \ 'asciidoctor': 'asciidoc'
      \}

This will make all tools that work for asciidoc also work for asciidoctor.

P.S. file type is probably set by some plugin you have. In my case is vim-asciidoctor that has a ftdetect script that set asciidoctor file type to any file with adoc or asciidoc extension.

P.P.S. it doesn't. again some plugin with a ftdetect script must be setting the filetype. Normally based on file extension.

Thank you very much for the answer, I understand now.
