Tools for writers

Images

Please use only authorized images. For example, you can find many images in cc search website with creative common licence.

Do not forget to credit such image (if necessary) with altimage attribute.

Content

You can use any text editor to write blog content, but dev tools provide useful plugins to make it easier, and to detect early typo, invalid spaces, etc.

Markdown linter

Dictionary

Don't hesitate to install such tools to identify all mistakes (and quickly).

  • Visual Studio Code: French Spell Checker
  • JetBrains tools: new dictionaries can be added from Preferences > Editor > Proofreading > Spelling. You can find dictionaries here. Hunspell plugin also exists.

whitespaces

These tools highlight many sorts of spaces (trailing spaces, unbreakable spaces…).

Remember that in french, we need to write unbreakable spaces before ;, ?, !, as well as for thousand separators, etc. This prevents unexpected line separators (before : for example).

  • Visual Studio Code: nbsp-vscode
  • JetBrains tools: see Show whitespaces in Preferences > Editor > General > Appareance. JetBrains tools also removes trailing spaces on save.

Other

JetBrains tools offers a lot of spelling rules "for free" (see Preferences > Editor > Proofreading > Grammar > Rules).
