The Spell Check Preferences Panel
The spell check preferences are the following:
- Automatic Spell Check - When checked, the spell checker highlights
the errors as you modify the document.
- Spell check highlight color - Use this
option to set the color for highlighting the spell check errors.
- Spell checking engine - The engines available are Hunspell and AZ
Check. Each engine has a specific format of spelling dictionaries. The languages of the
built-in dictionaries of the selected engine are listed in the Default
language combo box.
- Default language - The default language combo allows you to choose
the language used by default. If the language of your documents is not listed in this combo
box you can add a spelling
dictionary for your language which will be added to this list.
- Delete learned words - Press this button
to open the list of learned words. Here you can select the items you want to remove.
- Use "lang" and "xml:lang" attributes - If checked, the contents of
any element with such an attribute will be checked using a dictionary for the language
specified in the attribute value if this dictionary is available. When these attributes are
missing the language used is controlled by the two radio buttons: Use the default
language or Do not check.
- XML spell checking in - These options allow the user to specify if
the spell checker will be enabled inside XML comments, attribute values, text and CDATA
sections.
- Case sensitive - When checked, spell checking reports
capitalization errors, for example a word that starts with lowercase after etc. or
i.e..
- Ignore mixed case words - When checked, operations do not check
words containing case mixing (e.g. SpellChecker).
- Ignore words with digits - When checked, the spell checker does not
check words containing digits (e.g. b2b).
- Ignore Duplicates - When checked, the spell checker does not signal
two successive identical words as an error.
- Ignore URL - When checked, ignores words looking like URL or file
names (e.g. www.oxygenxml.com or c:\boot.ini) .
- Check punctuation - When checked, punctuation checking is enabled:
misplaced white space and wrong sequences, like a dot following a comma, are highlighted as
errors.
- Allow compounds words - When checked, all words formed by
concatenating two legal words with an hyphen are accepted. If the language allows it, two
words concatenated without hyphen are also accepted.
- Allow general prefixes - When checked, a word formed by
concatenating a registered prefix and a legal word is accepted. For example if mini-
is a registered prefix, the checker accepts mini-computer.
- Allow file extensions - When checked, accepts any word ending with
registered file extensions (e.g. myfile.txt, index.html, etc.).
- Ignore acronyms - When checked, the acronyms are not reported as
errors.
- Ignore elements - A list of XPath expressions for the elements that
will be ignored by spell checking. Only a small subset of XPath expressions are supported,
that is:
- only the '/' and '//' separators
- the '*' wildcard
An example of allowed XPath expression: /a/*/b.
