Installation
------------
pyLanguagetool can be installed with pip/pipenv:

.. code:: bash

    pip install pylanguagetool
    # or via pipenv
    pipenv install pylanguagetool

Basic Usage
-----------
.. code:: bash

    # pipe text to pylanguagetool
    echo "This is a example" | pylanguagetool

    # read text from a file
    pylanguagetool textfile.txt

    # read text from stdin
    pylanguagetool < textfile.txt

    # read text from the systems clipboard
    pylanguagetool -c # get text from system clipboard

All samples above will return a list of detected errors and possible
replacements.

.. code::

    # Use "an" instead of 'a' if the following word starts with a vowel sound, e.g. 'an article', 'an hour'
    #   ✗ This is a example
    #             ^
    #   ✓ This is an example



Configuration
-------------
All `LanguageTool API`_ parameters can be set via command line arguments,
environment variables or a configuration file
(``~/.config/pyLanguagetool.conf``) For more information about the
configuration file syntax, read the `ConfigArgParse documentation`_.

Privacy
-------

By default, pyLanguagetool sends all text via HTTPS to the `LanguageTool`_
server (see their `privacy policy`_). You can also `set up your own server`_ and
use it by changing the ``--api-url`` attribute.

Parameters
----------

.. code::

    $ pylanguagetool --help
    usage: pylanguagetool [-h] [-V] [-v] [-a API_URL] [--no-color] [-c] [-s]
                          [-t {txt,html,md,markdown,rst,ipynb,json,xliff}] [-u] [-r]
                          [--rule-categories] [-l LANG] [-m MOTHER_TONGUE]
                          [-p PREFERRED_VARIANTS] [-e ENABLED_RULES]
                          [-d DISABLED_RULES]
                          [--enabled-categories ENABLED_CATEGORIES]
                          [--disabled-categories DISABLED_CATEGORIES]
                          [--enabled-only] [--picky] [--pwl PWL]
                          [input file]

    positional arguments:
      input file            input file

    options:
      -h, --help            show this help message and exit
      -V, --version         print version and exit
      -v, --verbose         verbose output [env var: VERBOSE]
      -a API_URL, --api-url API_URL
                            the URL of the v2 languagetool API, should end with
                            '/v2/' [env var: API_URL]
      --no-color            don't color output [env var: NO_COLOR]
      -c, --clipboard       get text from system clipboard [env var: CLIPBOARD]
      -s, --single-line     check every line on its own [env var: SINGLE_LINE]
      -t {txt,html,md,markdown,rst,ipynb,json,xliff}, --input-type {txt,html,md,markdown,rst,ipynb,json,xliff}
                            if not plaintext [env var: INPUT_TYPE]
      -u, --explain-rule    print URLs with more information about rules [env var:
                            EXPLAIN_RULE]
      -r, --rules           show the matching rules [env var: RULES]
      --rule-categories     show the the categories of the matching rules [env var:
                            RULE_CATEGORIES]
      -l LANG, --lang LANG  A language code like en or en-US, or auto to guess the
                            language automatically (see preferredVariants below).
                            For languages with variants (English, German,
                            Portuguese) spell checking will only be activated when
                            you specify the variant, e.g. en-GB instead of just en.
                            [env var: TEXTLANG]
      -m MOTHER_TONGUE, --mother-tongue MOTHER_TONGUE
                            A language code of the user's native language, enabling
                            false friends checks for some language pairs. [env var:
                            MOTHER__TONGUE]
      -p PREFERRED_VARIANTS, --preferred-variants PREFERRED_VARIANTS
                            Comma-separated list of preferred language variants. The
                            language detector used with language=auto can detect
                            e.g. English, but it cannot decide whether British
                            English or American English is used. Thus this parameter
                            can be used to specify the preferred variants like en-GB
                            and de-AT. Only available with language=auto. [env var:
                            PREFERRED_VARIANTS]
      -e ENABLED_RULES, --enabled-rules ENABLED_RULES
                            IDs of rules to be enabled, comma-separated [env var:
                            ENABLED_RULES]
      -d DISABLED_RULES, --disabled-rules DISABLED_RULES
                            IDs of rules to be disabled, comma-separated [env var:
                            DISABLED_RULES]
      --enabled-categories ENABLED_CATEGORIES
                            IDs of categories to be enabled, comma-separated [env
                            var: ENABLED_CATEGORIES]
      --disabled-categories DISABLED_CATEGORIES
                            IDs of categories to be disabled, comma-separated [env
                            var: DISABLED_CATEGORIES]
      --enabled-only        enable only the rules and categories whose IDs are
                            specified with --enabled-rules or --enabled-categories
      --picky               if enabled, additional rules will be activated
      --pwl PWL, --personal-word-list PWL
                            File name of personal dictionary. A private dictionary
                            can be used to add special words that would otherwise be
                            marked as spelling errors. [env var: PERSONAL_WORD_LIST]

    Args that start with '--' can also be set in a config file
    (~/.config/pyLanguagetool.conf). Config file syntax allows: key=value,
    flag=true, stuff=[a,b,c] (for details, see syntax at
    https://pypi.org/project/ConfigArgParse/). In general, command-line values
    override environment variables which override config file values which override
    defaults.
