Bonjour Damien,
Do you know about style-check.rb?
http://www.cs.umd.edu/~nspring/software/style-check-readme.html
It's faster, and easier to setup than your tool. I tried both your tool
and style-check on a manuscript, and generally the errors in style-check
were more pertinent, with less false positives. TextLint did find a few
things style-check didn't, so I'm keeping it around, thanks for writing
it :-)
I like your web interface, and how you group the warnings in it.
Also, a few fixable false positives :
- inline math isn't recognized properly. For instance, "$A$ and"
complains that it should be an.
- "After "a" only words beginning without a vowel are allowed." triggers
on "a uniform"
Also, for completeness, I think you want shell-quote-argument instead of
(format "\"%s\" \"%s\" \"%s\" \"%s\"" ...)
