Problems with \, and ~

[pkel]

Thanks for your great work. Textidote is a relief.

I ran into problems when using ~ and \, like in the following example.

\documentclass{article}
 
\begin{document}
I want to demo a small textidote bug regarding white space. It seems that \verb|\,| and \verb|~| are not recognized as such, e.\,g.~this should be fine.
 
It shows up when I cite Someone et al.~\cite{someone2020} or add a small space between a number and a unit as in 100\,\%. By the way, I think this last sentence is parsed as comment.
\end{document}

Do you consider this a bug or should I adapt?

I'm running textidote v0.8.1 from the jar file provided on the release page.

Thanks for your post. This could easily be added to the next version (note to myself: replace both symbols into spaces at the cleaning step).

Not sure if this is as intended (so holding off on creating an issue), but I get warnings for blablabla Fucci et al.~\cite{fucci_2019} blablabla. Isn't this best-practice?

Could be handled by changing this line:

textidote/Source/Core/src/ca/uqac/lif/textidote/rules/regex.csv

Line 7 in ceb43e4

sh:010 et al\.[^\\,] Use a backslash or comma after the period; otherwise LaTeX will think it is a full stop ending a sentence.

replace [^\\,] by [^\\,~].
