In plain English

Text Typesetting is a free online tool that cleans up the formatting of documents containing mixed Chinese and English text. If you write content that blends these languages together, this tool automatically fixes spacing and styling issues to make everything look polished and professional. The tool handles three main things. First, it inserts proper spaces between Chinese characters and adjacent English words or numbers, which significantly improves readability. Second, it fixes the capitalization of technical terms, turning something like "java" into "Java." Third, it converts basic Markdown image references into HTML image tags that let you control the image size and center the image on the page. The capitalization feature works from a built-in list of known technical terms, and the project welcomes contributions to expand that list. This tool is most useful for people who write technical documents, blog posts, or resumes in Chinese while referencing English technology terms. For example, a developer putting together a resume might write quickly and not worry about perfect spacing or capitalization, then run the text through this tool to get a clean, consistent result. Someone writing documentation or a tutorial that mixes Chinese explanations with English code snippets would benefit in the same way. The tool runs entirely in the browser as an HTML page, so there is nothing to install or configure. You just open it and paste in your text. The README does not go into detail about how to deploy or customize it beyond that. The project takes a straightforward approach to a specific formatting problem rather than attempting to be a full document processing suite.
