proselint is a turbocharget spellchecker
|
||
|
||
proselint, a linter for English prose. A linter is a computer program
|
||
that, akin to a spell checker, scans through a file and detects issues
|
||
— like how a real lint roller helps you get unwanted lint off of your
|
||
shirt.
|
||
|
||
proselint places the world's greatest writers and editors by your
|
||
side, where they whisper suggestions on how to improve your prose.
|
||
You’ll be guided by advice inspired by Bryan Garner, David Foster
|
||
Wallace, Chuck Palahniuk, Steve Pinker, Mary Norris, Mark Twain,
|
||
Elmore Leonard, George Orwell, Matthew Butterick, William Strunk,
|
||
Elwyn White, Philip Corbett, Ernest Gowers, and the editorial staff of
|
||
the world’s finest literary magazines and newspapers, among others.
|
||
Our goal is to aggregate knowledge about best practices in writing and
|
||
to make that knowledge immediately accessible to all authors in the
|
||
form of a linter for prose; all in a neat command-line utility that
|
||
you can integrate into other tools, scripts, and workflows.
|
||
|
||
Slackware users can access proselint in Emacs with minimal
|
||
configuration, using flymake. (Or install flycheck from MELPA.)
|
||
|
||
proselint should be extensible. If Slackware users find out that some
|
||
plugins are advisable, feel free to contact the author to package some
|
||
them.
