Lins is a lightweight, extensible linter for prose—specifically developed with LaTeX in mind. The tool is written in Nim and inspired by Vale.
The project's documentation is available here.
If none of the release packages targets your platform, you can still build and use this tool provided that you have a C compiler that targets your platform.

Since Lins relies on PCRE for its regular expression support via dynamic linking, you will also have to build or install PCRE as a library.
Releases follow semantic versioning to determine how the version number is incremented. If the specification is ever broken by a release, this will be documented in the changelog.
If you discover a bug or what you believe is unintended behavior, please submit an issue on the issue board. A minimal working example and a short description of the context is appreciated and goes a long way towards being able to fix the problem quickly.
Lins is free software released under the MIT license.

- Regular expression support is provided by the PCRE library package, which is open source software, written by Philip Hazel, and copyright by the University of Cambridge, England.
Lins is maintained by Marcus Eriksson.
