Is there a spell-checker? Perhaps even on-the-fly spell-checking?
Answer:
- You can use ispell.el to spell-check stuff in Emacs. So the
- first thing to do is to make sure that you've got either
- @uref{http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/fmg-members/geoff/ispell.html,ispell}
- or @uref{http://aspell.sourceforge.net/,aspell}
- installed and in your Path. Then you need
- @uref{http://www.kdstevens.com/~stevens/ispell-page.html,ispell.el}
- and for on-the-fly spell-checking
- @uref{http://www-sop.inria.fr/mimosa/personnel/Manuel.Serrano/flyspell/flyspell.html,flyspell.el}.
- Ispell.el is shipped with Gnus Emacs and available through the Emacs package system,
- flyspell.el is shipped with Emacs and part of XEmacs text-modes package which is
- available through the package system, so there should be no need to install them
- manually.
