Re: Looking for a grammar/spelling tool for XML I-D

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For information, there is now a list of tools to check grammar (in addition to spelling) in XML formatted IETF drafts.

 

The list is on this public IESG wiki page: https://trac.ietf.org/trac/iesg/wiki/GrammarCheckingID

 

Hope this helps and comments/suggestions/additions are welcome

 

Have a wonderful, error free, IETF-109 ;-)

Subject: Looking for a grammar/spelling tool for XML I-D

 

Written by a non-English speaker...

 

The IESG believes that the I-D review (in last call, in IESG telechat, ...) could be improved for some documents if the grammar was correct and typos absent (and I plead guilty to do typos in my documents). Easier said than done of course.

 

Most modern word processors have this feature but I know about no tools able to do this check on .XML or .TXT...

 

So, we are looking forward for any tools on-line/off-line being able to do this. It could be a tool-chain built on GNU aspell or course (but aspell does not check grammar) or via an API to https://languagetool.org/ .

Thank you for pointers, suggestions, comments
