Install LanguageTool for Emacs
==============================

Date: 2026-02-02

WHAT
----
LanguageTool is an open-source grammar and style checker. It supports
English, German, French, Spanish, and 20+ other languages.

In Emacs, it integrates with Flycheck to provide real-time grammar
checking in text buffers (org-mode, markdown, emails, etc.).

WHY
---
The Emacs config has a LanguageTool integration via:
- ~/.emacs.d/scripts/languagetool-flycheck (wrapper script)
- Flycheck checker definition

Without languagetool installed, this integration is non-functional
and tests will skip.

INSTALL
-------
LanguageTool is in the official Arch repos:

  sudo pacman -S languagetool

This installs the command-line tool that the Emacs wrapper calls.

LOCATION
--------
Add to the Emacs dependencies section of the archsetup package list.
