Markdown Spellchecker

What is it?

  • This program is a spellchecker made in python to check .md documents for spelling errors outside of code.

What is needed for this?

  • Python
  • Pyenchant

Why use it?

  • It dosent check words inside of codeblocks.
  • It can also have technical words added to the PWL exclude them from the spellcheck.
  • It also dosent check the code inside of HTML tags.

How to install? * *

What is the PWL?

  • PWL is the personal word list.
  • It is used to store words that the dictionary would say are spelt wrong.
  • to exclude a word add it to "dict.txt" which you can specify what its called as long as you change it in the config.

How to configure it?

  • Go into "config.ini"
  • you can change where it finds the the documents to check.
  • the personal word list.
  • the name of the text file it creates to tell you which files its checked.
  • The name of the text file it creates to tell you which spellings are wrong.

What are the advantages of this program and why did I bother making it??

  • Saves Previous score so it can be used to compare to your previous score and how well you have done.
  • It dosent check words inside of codeblocks or technical words that can be specified in the PWL document.
  • It can check things inside of HTML notes

What about grammar?

  • Yeah... how about no.

How to use it?

  • To use it run spellchecker.py in this file structure: ./_tests/
  • keep the posts in the .md type file in the user defined space where it should be ./_posts (or whatever you set it to)

Anything else I should know?

  • Keep "dict.txt" with the python files.
  • if dict.txt dosent exist create a document for it.
  • Add words that you dont want spellchecked in the file too.
