TeXtidote is a Java command-line tool that performs spelling, grammar, and style checking on LaTeX documents (and Markdown files). It strips markup, sends clean text to LanguageTool, and maps findings back to exact positions in the original source file.

Use cases

• check grammar and spelling in LaTeX documents
• run a linter on my thesis LaTeX source
• find style issues in LaTeX files without breaking markup
• proofread Markdown files with LanguageTool
• verify figures are referenced and titles are capitalized in LaTeX
• get an HTML report of writing issues in my LaTeX paper

When to choose

• you write LaTeX documents and want grammar/spell checking that understands markup
• you need suggestions mapped back to the original source lines
• you want multi-language checking via LanguageTool
• you prefer a standalone Java CLI that runs on any OS

When to avoid

• you need checking of plain text or formats other than LaTeX/Markdown
• you want an interactive GUI editor rather than a command-line report
• you need a general-purpose prose grammar checker without LaTeX markup
