Can anyone recommend a spellchecking LSP that also checks grammar and basic syntax, like most office tools? I'd primarily like to use it with Markdown and Typst. I currently use codebook as spellcheck LSP, but I'm not happy because I still need to use external tools quite often to find basic spelling mistakes like missing commas.

@leona@social.infinitespace.dev sounds like what you want? https://github.com/languagetool-language-server/languagetool-languageserver

@leona@social.infinitespace.dev The natural language processing in Jetbrains IDE (which is now built-in, but used to rely on Language tool via Grazie) seems pretty good. So perhaps look up if there's any LSP using Language Tools for your editor. (Any JetBrains IDE + Texify gets you a very good LaTeX experience, but I don't know if we have a Typst plugin here)

@leona@social.infinitespace.dev I have been using harper (https://github.com/Automattic/harper) and have been pretty happy. They have integration with Typst and Markdown :D

@leona@social.infinitespace.dev In my Emacs I configured hunspell which is what e.g. Firefox uses for spellcheck and it works quite alright. It looks like there are plans to integrate a hunspell-compatible spellchecker into Helix directly: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/14085
