typographic-linter

Typographic linter – because we do care very much about typography.

Overview

typographic-linter is Rust library that checks for common typographic rules in several languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Library in action

Add the dependency in your Cargo.toml:

typographic_linter = { git = "https://github.com/rlustin/typograhic-linter" }

extern crate typographic_linter;

use typographic_linter::Linter;

fn main() {
    let linter = Linter::new("en".to_string()).unwrap();

    let content = "It's me...";
    let result = linter.check(content);

    if result.is_err() {
        let warnings = result.err().unwrap();

        println!("There are {} typographic warnings in “{}”:", warnings.len(), content);

        for warning in &warnings {
            println!("- At {}, {}: {}", warning.start, warning.end, warning.message);
        }
    } else {
        println!("There’s no typographic warning.");
    }
}

Implemented rules

This library is a work in progress. For now, it only checks for the rules bellow.

All languages

• curly apostrophes;
• ellipsis symbol;
• no space before comma;
• prices;
• typographic quotation marks.

French

• spaces before double punctuation marks.
