Guides

Task-oriented how-to guides for liblevenshtein-rust features.

These guides walk through using specific capabilities of the library end-to-end, with worked examples and configuration recipes. They complement the User Guide (broad onboarding) and the Algorithm Documentation (theory and internals) by focusing on concrete tasks: phonetically-informed correction, restricted substitution sets, and hierarchical scope-aware completion.

Guides

Document	Purpose
articulatory-distance.md	Phonetically-informed substitution costs derived from articulatory features, so acoustically-near errors cost less than 1.
compositional-phonetic-levenshtein.md	Compose phonetic NFAs with Levenshtein automata for spelling correction that respects pronunciation.
HIERARCHICAL_SCOPE_COMPLETION.md	Build hierarchical, lexical-scope-aware completion using the contextual completion layer.
phonetic-rules-developer-guide.md	Author, register, and apply phonetic rewrite rules as a developer.
RESTRICTED_SUBSTITUTIONS_GUIDE.md	Constrain which character substitutions an automaton permits via a substitution policy.

Subdirectories

Directory	Purpose
grammar-correction/	Guides for implementing grammar-correction guarantees on top of the correction stack.
