Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : elpa-writegood-mode Version : 2.0.2 Upstream Author : Benjamin Beckwith * URL : http://bnbeckwith.com/code/writegood-mode.html * License : GPL-3+ Programming Lang: Elisp Description : Minor mode for Emacs to improve English writing
This is a minor mode to aid in finding common writing problems. Matt Might’s weaselwords scripts inspired this mode. It highlights text based on a set of weasel-words, passive-voice and duplicate words. ---- I use this when writing journalistic articles, fairly useful. No dependencies that I know of. LWN made a review of similar tools for Emacs here and here: https://lwn.net/Articles/692054/ https://lwn.net/Articles/692872/ ... but I haven't found something better just yet. I'd be happy to comaintain this with the elpa team if no one steps up.
