About:
Textidote is a linter and style checker specifically designed for LaTeX documents. It analyzes source files for common spelling errors, grammatical issues, and stylistic weaknesses, helping authors produce cleaner and more readable academic or technical papers. It integrates seamlessly into build pipelines and IDEs to enforce quality standards automatically.
Key Features:
  • Checks spelling and grammar in LaTeX source
  • Detects style issues like passive voice or complex phrasing
  • Supports multiple languages
  • Outputs reports in various formats (JSON, HTML, plain text)
  • IDE integration (VS Code, TeXstudio)
Use Cases:
  • Automated proofreading of academic papers and theses
  • CI/CD pipeline checks for LaTeX documentation
  • Improving readability of technical reports
Alternatives:
