Integrate LanguageTool

Please, integrate LanguageTool for improved spelling, grammar and style checking. See http://wiki.languagetool.org/software-that-supports-languagetool-as-a-plug-in-or-add-on which writing software already has this integration.

Couldn't be more agree with this. LT is from far the best aid tool when writing in many languages.

I don't know enough about the internals of bibisco to say integration would be easy, but I wouldn't say it is very hard.

LanguageTool has a public HTTP API that anyone can use, but it is, of course, limited for free users.

In the documentation, there is a better overview, including the rates for premium users. If you are a premium user, as far as I understand, you'd need to generate an access token and bibisco would need to somehow save it.

For both free and premium LanguageTool (LT) users, bibisco would then send the text to the LT server. Because you can also run your own LT server wherever you want, server configuration (official or custom IP/domain) could also be a feature in bibisco.

I would also suggest putting this in the supporter edition, but that's maybe just me.

didn't know you could install your own LT server, but it seems it is an old and capped version of the server, I would be more than happy to use the free version of their cloud service
