Let's say plain text is the most basic unit of written information. Then the boundaries between written thoughts in formatted / unformatted text, math (LaTeX), rich markdown, ASCII drawings, and so on, are artificially imposed. neutriNote reclaims the paradigm by preserving all contents in a text-centric searchable repository. Unlike the emphasis on traditional text editing functions found in most mainline writing apps, neutriNote focuses instead on the long-term searchability of information so that cognitive load may be reduced through note-taking, with a writing experience totally open to customization.

If so, you probably know that the process is far from simple. Since LaTeX documents contain special commands and keywords (the so-called "markup") that are not part of the "real" text, you cannot run a grammar checker directly on these files: it cannot tell the difference between markup and text. The other option is to remove all this markup, leaving only the "clear" text; however, when a grammar tool points to a problem at a specific line in this clear text, it becomes hard to retrace that location in the original LaTeX file. TeXtidote solves this problem; it can read your original LaTeX file and perform various sanity checks on it: for example, making sure that every figure is referenced in the text, enforcing the correct capitalization of titles, etc. In addition, TeXtidote can remove markup from the file and send it to the Language Tool library, which performs verification of both spelling and grammar in a dozen languages.
