spell arguments
These control spell checking. SSC doesn’t actually spell check itself, it uses spell checking facilities on the host system, so your results may vary.
| spell.accept XXX | XXX is a correct spelling of a word (or a list of words) in all languages. |
| spell.cased | Nitpick correctly spelt but wrongly cased words. |
| spell.check | Check text spelling. Uses external spelling checkers, so results will be inconsistent between systems. |
| spell.dict LANG,DICT | Associate dictionary DICT with LANG. For example, if the standard English dictionary is en_GB-large: --spell.dict en-GB,en_GB-large. ssc ignores this switch in windows; it uses the system dictionaries. |
| spell.icu | Use the somewhat slow, but accurate, ICU libraries. Disabling this option will increase the speed and incorrectness of the spell checks. |
| spell.list FN,LANG | The file FN contains a list of valid spellings
for language LANG (which may include country
info). If LANG is omitted, the valid spellings
apply to all languages. For example: --spell.list ie.txt,en-IE --spell.list de.txt,de --spell.list lb.txt |
| spell.path PATH | Path to spelling executable (ignored in Windows). Hunspell or a compatible program is expected. If none is specified, ssc will seek hunspell. Under Windows, ssc uses the system spell-checker, if there is one. |
Just in case a dimitude accidentally browses this page, the word ‘spell’ refers to spelling, not chicken entrails.
