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.
