Description
The Grammalecte plugin defines 2 commands :GrammalecteCheck and :GrammalecteClear.
:GrammalecteCheck
Use the :GrammalecteCheck command to check the grammar in the current buffer. This will highlight errors in the buffer. It will also open a new scratch window with the list of grammar mistakes with further explanations for each error. It also populates the location-list for the window.
The :GrammalecteCheck command accepts a range. You can for example check grammar between lines 100 and 200 in buffer with :100,200GrammalecteCheck, check grammar in the visual selection with :<',>'GrammalecteCheck, etc. The default range is 1,$ (whole buffer).
:GrammalecteClear
Use the :GrammalecteClear command to clear highlighting of grammar mistakes, close the scratch window containing the list of errors, clear and close the location-list.
