How can I convert my ltex-ls lua Neovim config to toml for Helix?

[David-Else]

In Neovim, this lua works with https://github.com/valentjn/ltex-ls:

  settings = {
    ltex = {
      disabledRules = {
        ['en-US'] = { 'PROFANITY' },
        ['en-GB'] = { 'PROFANITY' },
      },
      dictionary = {
        ['en-US'] = [ "madeupword", "anothermadeupword" ],
        ['en-GB'] = [ "madeupword", "anothermadeupword" ],
      },
    },
  },

All the settings are show here: https://valentjn.github.io/ltex/settings.html

In Helix the config format is:

[language.config]
cargo = { allFeatures = true }
checkOnSave = { command = "clippy" }

How do I convert this to work in Helix? Thanks!

I did it! :)

You should be able to switch languages using front matter in Markdown, and settings must be for each language, hence I have them twice for US and GB English.

config = { ltex.disabledRules = { "en-US" = [
  "PROFANITY",
], "en-GB" = [
  "PROFANITY",
] }, ltex.dictionary = { "en-US" = [
  "madeupword",
], "en-GB" = [
  "madeupword",
] } }

Follow up question, why can't I load a spelling file like in Neovim with "en-US" = [ ":/home/user/spelling.txt" ] ?

Hi, I'm experimenting the same issue, do you have any news about the loading of an external dictionary file ?

Hi, I am similarly experimenting with ltex-ls, have you guys figured this out?

The reason why it doesn't work is that the loading of external files (starting with :) is handled in the VSCode extension; there likely isn't code in LTeX-LS or LTeX to handle this. References:

https://github.com/valentjn/vscode-ltex/blob/74484ff6e0f1f810fc24d57ba51286c347b31cf3/src/ExternalFileManager.ts#L360-L362

I think the proper fix is to implement file handling in LTeX-LS or LTeX itself, where it would work for all LSP clients.
