Vale is an OSS tool that you can use as a "prose linter" with many of these rules. You can also write your own rules. Together with a spellchecker its a good replacement for proprietary tools like grammarly.

- Jhsto 3y agoThis is interesting, I integrated it into my blog straight away, thanks! Are you aware of any academic writing focused extensions for Vale? In specific, I would need different "style" as it's called on Grammarly.
- cratermoon 3y agoAll the styles I've been able to find are geared towards technical writers creating software documentation. Is there a particular academic style guide you have in mind, perhaps it would be possible to create a vale style for it.
- Lacerda69 3y agoYea that is true, I use a customized version of the write-good and Microsoft styles, but for math formulas and such something like latex is better IMO ( though possible to recreate with vale too probably)
- cratermoon 3y agoThere are quite a few academics using a markdown->latex pipeline, with pandoc or similar tools. But it doesn't seem like the vale linter is the right tool when it comes to formulae.
