Repeated Words in Text (not in sentence)

Hello,

I am trying to implement a rule which checks for word repetitions with a text. While each sentence might be ok, the might be bad.

I can not find any way of specifying the minimal word distance between two occurances of the same word.

Is there any tutorial I can start from? Thanks in advance.

You can only do that by programming a rule, not with XML rules. Here’s a simple demo rule that works on sentences: languagetool/DemoRule.java at master · languagetool-org/languagetool · GitHub. For rules that work on more than single sentences, just extend TextLevelRule instead.
