See: https://github.com/grumpfou/RTypography
The software has been written to handle markdown files (*.md, *.mkd), it should also work on simple text files (*.txt).
One can use the command line version of the software. No additional library is needed in that case.
Prints the about section:
python3 RTypography.py --about
Prints the text with in red the section that will not be considered during the correction (do not save any output file)
python3 RTypography.py --print_excludes foo.txt
Export the text in English, French, etc.
python3 RTypography.py --language en foo.txt
python3 RTypography.py --language fr foo.txt
Prints the changes on the file foo.txt (do not save any output file)
python3 RTypography.py --language en --print_changes foo.txt
To specify the file to which file you want to export:
python3 RTypography.py --language en --export foo_typo.txt foo.txt
One can use graphical version of the software. In that case, one need to install PyQt 5 (preferably PyQt 5.9.1).
One can launch the GUI interface by:
python3 RTypography.py --gui
You can still specify the language and the file to open if you want:
python3 RTypography.py --gui --language fr foo_txt.fr
- Step 1: Open the file you want to convert.
- Step 2: An automatic exclusion of the markdown syntax is made. If you want to adjust these exclusion, ou can select the text to exclude/incorporate in the typography analysis and click on the red lock.
- Step 3: choose your language
- Step 4: perform the typography analysis. The output text can be edited if needed (or you can perform the typography analysis with different exclusions).
- Step 5: save you file. It will be saved under the name
