Summary
texthooks is an open-source Python package providing pre-commit hooks that normalize and validate text files, focusing on replacing undesirable Unicode characters (smart quotes, ligatures, special spaces, dashes) with ASCII equivalents and enforcing repository text conventions.
Highlights
- Provides seven hooks covering smart quotes, ligatures, special spaces, Unicode dashes, bidirectional controls, CODEOWNERS sorting, and macro expansion
- Each hook works both as a pre-commit hook and as a standalone CLI script after pip install
- fix-smartquotes is configurable via hex-encoded Unicode codepoints to override which quotation marks get replaced
- alphabetize-codeowners sorts owner lists per path without reordering lines or modifying comments
- forbid-bidi-controls detects bidirectional text that could be used for visual spoofing in repositories
