Is there a way to make chktex play nice with the minted package? Right now, it seems to assume that normal checks apply to the content of the minted environments and produces a lot of warnings.

Prepare a file called chktexrc.local in the same directory as the file you have to check, containing
VerbEnvir
{
verbatim comment listing verbatimtab rawhtml errexam picture texdraw
filecontents pgfpicture tikzpicture minted
}
Call
chktex -l chktexrc.local filename.tex
(where filename stands for the name of the file, of course).
I tested it with the file gregoire.tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{minted}
\begin{document}
\begin{minted}
a{zxx
\end{minted}
\end{document}
and the normal call of chktex gregoire.tex gives
ChkTeX v1.7.4 - Copyright 1995-96 Jens T. Berger Thielemann.
Compiled with POSIX extended regex support.
Warning 15 in line 6: No match found for `{'.
^
Warning 17 in gregoire.tex line 9: Number of `{' doesn't match the number of `}'!
whereas the call chktex -l chktexrc.local gregoire.tex produces
ChkTeX v1.7.4 - Copyright 1995-96 Jens T. Berger Thielemann.
Compiled with POSIX extended regex support.
No errors printed; No warnings printed; No user suppressed warnings; No line suppressed warnings.
Note: the VerbEnvir list in the default chktexrc file doesn't cover several other “verbatim-like” environments; it has been updated for pgfpicture and tikzpicture, but it misses several other common environments such as those provided by listings and fancyvrb. However, the list cannot be complete, as these packages allow for defining new environments; probably adding
Verbatim BVerbatim lstlistings
would be useful nonetheless.

2If you call it
.chktexrc(orchktexrcon Windows), you don't have to use the-loption, it will be picked up automatically. Sep 23, 2015 at 4:24 -
@IvanAndrus Sure, but I don't like the proliferation of invisible files.– egregSep 23, 2015 at 7:25

@RaffiKhatchadourian The code is simply copied from the default
chktexrcfile with the addition ofminted. If one wants to also coverlstlisting, also this name must be added; but the question didn't mention it. I'm displeased by the downvote, but the answer is correct as it stands.– egregDec 29, 2015 at 10:44 -
1@RaffiKhatchadourian You can add
\mintinline:{}{}to theWipeArglist and\mintinline{python}{print(x**2)}would be ignored. Otherwise it just warns about a parenthesis without a space in front of it.– egregJan 1, 2016 at 22:08
You can use the default chktexrc found here (store in your directory as .chktexrc or use the global one). I changed the following in this file to accommodate the minted package:
VerbEnvir
{
verbatim comment listing lstlisting verbatimtab rawhtml errexam picture texdraw minted
}
WipeArg
{
\label:{} \ref:{} \vref:{} \pageref:{} \index:{} \cite:[]{}
\input:{} \verbatiminput:[]{} \listinginput:[]{}{}
\verbatimtabinput:[]{} \include:{} \includeonly:{}
\bibitem:[]{} \mintinline:[]{}{}
}
