LT_EX LS+ — LT_EX Language Server

LT_EX LS+ (LT_EX Language Server) implements a language server according to the Language Server Protocol (LSP) and provides grammar and spelling errors in markup documents (L^AT_EX, Markdown, etc.). The documents are checked with LanguageTool.

Typically, you start the language server (either locally or remotely), you send the language server your L^AT_EX or Markdown document, and it will respond with a list of the grammar and spelling errors in it. To use LT_EX LS+ in this way, you have to use a language client (usually an editor or an extension of the editor) that communicates with LT_EX LS+ according to the LSP.

However, it is also possible to supply LT_EX LS+ paths to files and directories to be checked as command-line arguments. In this mode, LT_EX LS+ will print the results to standard output, and no language client is necessary.

The reference language client of LT_EX LS+ is the LT_EX extension for Visual Studio Code (vscode-ltex), whose development LT_EX LS+ follows closely and vice versa.
