zhlint

A linting tool for Chinese text content.

How to install

You could easily install zhlint through npm or yarn:

# install through npm
npm install zhlint -g

# or through yarn
yarn global add zhlint

Usage

As CLI

# glob files, lint them, and print validation report,
# and exit with code `1` if there is any error found.
zhlint <file-pattern>

# glob files and fix their all possilbly found errors.
zhlint <file-pattern> --fix

# lint the file and output fixed content into another file
zhlint <input-file-path> --output=<output-file-path>

# print usage info
zhlint --help

The validation report might look like this:

As Node.js package

const { run, report } = require('zhlint')

const value = '自动在中文和English之间加入空格'
const output = run(value)

// print '自动在中文和 English 之间加入空格''
console.log(output.result)

// print validation report
report([output])

And the format of validation report is more like this:

1:6 - There should be a space between a half-width content and a full-width content

自动在中文和English之间加入空格
           ^
1:13 - There should be a space between a half-width content and a full-width content

自动在中文和English之间加入空格
                  ^
Invalid files:
- foo.md

Found 2 errors.

As a standalone package

You could find a JavaScript file dist/zhlint.js as a standalone version. To use it, for example, you can directly add it into your browser as a <script> tag. Then there would be a global variable zhlint for you.

Features

Markdown syntax support

We support lint your text content in Markdown syntax by default. For example:

run('自动在_中文_和**English**之间加入空格')

It will analyse the Markdown syntax first and extract the pure text content and do the lint job. After that the fixed pure text content could be replaced back to the raw Markdown string and returned as the output value in result.

Hexo tags syntax support

Specially, we support Hexo tags syntax just because when we use Hexo to build Vue.js website, the markdown source files more or less include special tags like that so got the unpredictable result.

As a result, we additionally skip the Hexo-style tags by default. For example:

run('现在过滤器只能用在插入文本中 (`{% raw %}{{ }}{% endraw %}` tags)。')

Setup ignored cases

In some real cases we have special text contents not follow the rules by reason. So we could ues ignoredCases option to config that. For example we'd like to keep the spaces inside a pair of brackets, which is invalid by default. Then we could write one more line of HTML comment anywhere inside the file:

<!-- the good case -->

text before (text inside) text after

<!-- the bad case -->

vm.$on( event, callback )

<!-- then we could write this down below to make it work -->
<!-- zhlint ignore: ( , ) -->

or just pass it through as an option:

run(str, { ignoredCases: { textStart: '( ', textEnd: ' )' } })

Supported preproccessors (hyper parsers)

  • ignore: find all ignored pieces by the HTML comment <!-- zhlint ignore: ... -->
  • hexo: find all Hexo tags to avoid them being parsed.
  • markdown: parse by markdown syntax and find all block-level texts and inline-level marks.

Supported rules

Almost the rules come from the past translation experiences in W3C HTML Chinese interest group and Vue.js Chinese docsite.

... and this part might be controversial. So if you don't feel well at some point, we definitely would love to know and improve. Opening an issue is always welcome. Then we could discuss about the possible better option or decision.
