Using ltex-ls on markdown and raw cells

[teucer]

I want to use ltex-ls for markdown and raw cells. Are there any pointers on how to achieve that?

Yes, this is in scope but not currently possible. This was discussed previously in #34. I did not know about ltex-ls before and was waiting for a revival of non-maintained languagetool-languageserver before putting more time into this, but ltex-ls seems like an even better fit.

It will be possible after JupyterLab 4.0 release, and we could port it back to LSP extension 4.0 version so that it is available for JupyterLab 3.x. The code in JupyterLab 4.0 is in:

https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/blob/8e08e4252a79a6c816535b9e80759adff984cad7/packages/lsp-extension/src/index.ts#L56-L80

and in:

https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/blob/a650dd8ac4fefe42d9a3b38a702b8660adf94bc3/packages/lsp/src/extractors/text_extractor.ts

I will look into this during refactor for 4.0.

What is the ETA for JupyterLab 4.0?

Unofficially/optimistically end of the year/January 2023.
