Markus checks spelling and grammar with LanguageTool.
Checking
- The Spelling button checks the article on demand and lists the remarks. Show leads to the passage; a suggestion goes into the text, Ctrl+Z takes it back; Ignore leaves it.
- With live underlining, mistakes are underlined while typing, after each pause. Each writer can turn it off for themselves in the Spelling panel.
What is sent
The text of the article goes to LanguageTool for each check. With live underlining, the changed text goes after each pause. Markus says so in the panel.
Public service or the site's server
In Markus's Settings, Spelling and grammar:
| Choice | What to know |
|---|---|
| LanguageTool's public service | Free, nothing to install. Limited to 20 checks a minute per writer, without guarantee. Its terms ask for one's own server for commercial or heavy use. |
| The site's LanguageTool server | Your own LanguageTool (for example installed with Docker). The text stays with you. Give its address; Markus adds /v2/check when missing. The server must accept calls from the administration (CORS). |
| Off | No check, nothing is sent. |
If LanguageTool does not answer, Markus says so: try again in a moment, the public service limits checks per minute.
