What is this?

This package is a unified (retext) plugin to check for certain words that should have diacritics, such as Beyonce -> Beyoncé.

When should I use this?

You can opt-into this plugin when you’re dealing with content that might contain grammar mistakes, and have authors that can fix that content.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install retext-diacritics

In Deno with esm.sh:

import retextDiacritics from 'https://esm.sh/retext-diacritics@5'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import retextDiacritics from 'https://esm.sh/retext-diacritics@5?bundle'
</script>

Use

Say our document example.txt contains:

Beyonce is the creme fresh on his resume.

…and our module example.js contains:

import retextDiacritics from 'retext-diacritics'
import retextEnglish from 'retext-english'
import retextStringify from 'retext-stringify'
import {read} from 'to-vfile'
import {unified} from 'unified'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'

const file = await unified()
  .use(retextEnglish)
  .use(retextDiacritics)
  .use(retextStringify)
  .process(await read('example.txt'))

console.error(reporter(file))

…then running node example.js yields:

example.txt
1:1-1:8   warning Unexpected undiacritical `Beyonce`, did you mean `Beyoncé`           beyonce     retext-diacritics
1:16-1:27 warning Unexpected undiacritical `creme fresh`, did you mean `crème fraîche` creme-fresh retext-diacritics
1:31-1:41 warning Unexpected undiacritical `his resume`, did you mean `his résumé`     his-resume  retext-diacritics

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.
