This is a misunderstanding: LaTeX doesn't help you to write your text, which is the job of the editor. I'm quite confident that such a thing (capitalize each first letter after a dot) can be achieved with emacs or vim.
Word is all and everything in one: editor, typesetting machine, spreadsheet ...
@Johannes_B but last suggestion in this answer is about layexmk. in fact i use win edit. i am getting the feeling that it is a useless tool. why using Word is evil? I even seen many conferences providing instruction for that
This really isn't a thing for LaTeX. You are sending a finalised file (written and saved with your editor of choice) that is processed/compiled.
ligature: two letters combined in one glyph
If you like Word's spelling correction you can use Word to type your latex files, you can use any editor to type latex, some have spelling correction some do not, but in any case it is nothing that latex itself is concerned with as it is a matter if fixing the input to latex. — David Carlisle47 mins ago
@user1064929 Sorry, i fear you have to be a bit more verbose. What is it you want to do? Are you talking about word, as there are many words in a language, or word the computer program?
@user1064929 If you are using Word, you can still write LaTeX commands. But at best it will leave them alone, worst case would be that Word tries to change/correct stuff. You can later export your Word-document to plain text, rename it and process it with LaTeX. Word *will* make changes to your input that will be hard for you to debug.
Instead of Word, there are many great text editors out there. LaTeX specialised ones with grammar control and all are vailable as well. For example Texstudio
@user1064929 I use vi to write my documents, call latexmk to process them and latexmk then takes care that pdflatex and all the helper programs are called.
all the time i thought it is latex duty for punctuation stuff. so it is somehow like if we use eclipse or netbeans to write in java language? i mean latex is like a programming language?
@user1064929 Additionally, i have a command line spell checker. This is the unix approach, one tool for one task. Word on the other hand tries to do all this by itself.
btw: LaTeX is just a layer of macros to cover the underlying TeX, a real turing-complete programming language meant for typesetting, i.e. placing boxes on a page.
@user1064929 You menationed that Word makes the next character after a period capital. What would happen in the above example? Does it recognice not to uppercase the p in placing?
Is there any TeX-command for "automatical corrections" of typos in english text?Or something like that?
