LT_EX Extension for VS Code: Grammar/Spell Checker Using LanguageTool with Support for L^AT_EX, Markdown, and Others

NOTICE: This is a fork of @valentjn's vscode-ltex as it seems to be not maintained.

The current version 13.1.0 is identical to the original. It serves as a base version before adding fixes and improvements.

LT_EX provides offline grammar checking of various markup languages in Visual Studio Code using LanguageTool (LT). LT_EX currently supports BibT_EX, ConT_EXt, L^AT_EX, Markdown, Org, reStructuredText, R Sweave, and XHTML documents. In addition, LT_EX can check comments in many popular programming languages (optional, opt-in).

The difference to regular spell checkers is that LT_EX not only detects spelling errors, but also many grammar and stylistic errors such as:

This is an mistake.
The bananas is tasty.
We look forward to welcome you.
Are human beings any different than animals?

A classic use case of LT_EX is checking scientific L^AT_EX papers, but why not check your next blog post, book chapter, or long e-mail before you send it to someone else?

Find more information and documentation about LT_EX on the official website.

LT_EX is a successor (since it's a fork) of the abandoned LanguageTool for Visual Studio Code extension by Adam Voss^†.

VS Code 1.52.0 or newer
Optional:
- If you want to check documents written in a markup language that VS Code does not support out-of-the-box (e.g., L^AT_EX), install an extension that provides support for that language (e.g., LaTeX Workshop Extension for VS Code) in addition to this extension.

How to Use

Install the requirements listed above
Install this extension (see download options)
Reload the VS Code window if necessary
Open a L^AT_EX or a Markdown document, or open a new file and change the language mode to LaTeX or Markdown (open the Command Palette and select Change Language Mode)
Wait until ltex-ls has been found; if necessary, LT_EX downloads it for you. Alternatively, you can choose offline installation.
Grammar/spelling errors will be displayed! (if there are any)
