Making linter read .chktexrc

[edwinksl]

As mentioned in #9 (comment), I was wondering if there are plans to allow the linter to read .chktexrc files. This would be a nice feature.

No plans (I currently use Sublime Text), however if you are interested in submitting a pull request, I'll happily merge it!

.chktexrc works for me. I guess chktex finds it automatically.

[edwinksl]

@raphinesse Huh, interesting. Let me try that.

@edwinksl Among other locations, chktex looks for a .chktexrc (chktexrc on non-UNIX machines) in the current directory. For me it works having the file in the top level of the directory currently opened in atom.

@raphinesse can you show you setting of linter-chktex ?

[raphinesse]

@NanerLee IIRC I did not change any settings for linter-chktex from their defaults

One possible approach to deal with this:

• Execute chktex using the open file's directory as its current working directory (exec with cwd option?)
• Have a setting that allows you to override default behaviour with your own .chktexrc file, using the -l flag
• Optionally, a setting to toggle the -g flag for any global .chktexrc file that might be picked up

I'm deep in thesis writing and not well-versed in CoffeeScript, but if anyone wants to have a crack at that I'd be happy to review / test a PR.
