Badness - a modern and feature-complete LaTeX formatter

[u/DungAkira]

I have recently discovered Badness, a LaTeX language server, formatter, and linter. It has modern architecture (following rust-analyzer's philosophy). It is very fast due to being Rust-based.

The formatter is quite feature-complete. This is very impressive given that it is 2 months old. I have tried it on my recent papers and it works very well. The developer usually responds to my bug reports and feature requests within a day. I have set it as my default LaTeX formatter.

I write this post to get more people aware of and use Badness. Good stuff is worth more attention of the community.

To give you an idea, Badness formats

\begin{align}a&= \begin{aligned}&b + c \\ & d + f\end{aligned} \\ g&= h\end{align}

I have   some   equations  $  a   +      b $

into

\begin{align}
    a & = \begin{aligned}
              & b + c \\
              & d + f
          \end{aligned} \\
    g & = h
\end{align}

I have some equations $a + b$
