Badness

Badness is a language server, formatter, and linter for LaTeX documents.

Install

npm install -g badness

This installs the badness command globally. The package detects your platform at install time and pulls in a prebuilt binary via npm's optional dependencies; no Rust toolchain or postinstall download required.

You can also use it without a global install:

npx badness format document.tex

Usage

badness format document.tex     # format in place
badness format <document.tex    # read stdin, write stdout
badness lint document.tex       # lint
badness lint --fix document.tex # lint and apply auto-fixes
badness lsp                     # start the language server

See badness --help and the documentation for the full feature list and configuration reference.

• Linux x64 (glibc and musl)
• Linux arm64 (glibc and musl)
• macOS x64 (Intel) and arm64 (Apple Silicon)
