Description-en: Finds typographic errors in LaTeX
ChkTeX finds typographic errors in LaTeX documents:
* Supports over 40 warnings.
* Supports ``\input'' command; both TeX and LaTeX version. Actually
includes the files. ``TEXINPUTS''-equivalent search path.
* Intelligent warning/error handling. The user may promote/mute
warnings to suit his preferences. You may also mute warnings in
the header of a file; thus killing much unwanted garbage.
* Supports both LaTeX 2.09 and LaTeX2e.
* Flexible output handling. Has some predefined formats and lets the
user specify his own format. Uses a ``printf()'' similar syntax.
``lacheck'' compatible mode included for interfacing with the
AUC-TeX Emacs mode.
