English Lint
Find common stylistic problems in english texts. Works well for technical or scientific documents. Based on write-good and this article.
This repository contains both a library and a simple CLI tool.
CLI Usage
First, install the CLI tool using cargo install english-lint (assumes you have recent Rust and Cargo versions installed on your system).
You can either pipe text data into it (e.g. echo "Hello world" | english-lint) or call it with a file name paramter (english-lint my-thesis.md). It outputs one line for each suggestion containing the name of the lint group and the line number with start/end character indizes. If you don't see any output, english-lint thinks your text is already perfect :)
$ english-lint Readme.md
wordy: 'shall' (22:72-77)
wordy: 'additional' (23:39-49)
Library Usage
First, add english-lint as a dependency to your project (e.g. using cargo add english-lint using cargo-edit) and include it with extern crate english_lint;.
Currently, this library only exposes two things: A free function, english_lint::lint and the struture this function returns, english_lint::Hint.
