Spelling...

XML Spy Suite now includes a built-in spelling checker.

The spelling checker can be used in the following views: Enhanced grid, Text and Document Editor as well as in XSLT Designer. Please note that you can check any type of XML file. The view you select influences the spelling checker options that are made available. A schema file (*.xsd) can be checked in the Text and Enhanced grid view, but not in the Schema Design view.

Spell checking in the Text and Enhanced grid view presents you with the most options, you can additionally check the spelling of:

·Element content  
·Attribute content  
·CDATA content  
·Comment text  

You can also define which specific element or attribute content to check or ignore. These selections are defined in the "Spelling context" dialog box.  


The Tools | Spelling... command (hotkey Shift+F7) opens the Spelling dialog box, and automatically starts checking the currently active XML document (in this case the OrgChart.xml document in the Document Editor view).

44-spell1  

Not in Dictionary
This text box contains the word that cannot be found in any of the existing dictionaries (default and custom dictionaries). You can also edit the text here. The word is also highlighted in the XML document. The command buttons become active at this point and allow you to decide which action to take.    

Suggestions
This list box displays a list of words that resemble the unknown word (supplied from all dictionaries). Double clicking a word in this list automatically inserts it in the document and continues the spell checking process.

Ignore once
This command allows you to continue checking the document while ignoring the first occurrence of the unknown word. The same word will be flagged again if it appears in the document.

Ignore all
This command ignores all instances of the unknown word in the whole document.

Add to dictionary
This command adds the unknown word to the currently active custom dictionary. This is the dictionary containing the check mark in the Custom Dictionaries dialog box (custom.tlx).

44-spell-cust-dict2  

Change
This command replaces the currently highlighted word in the XML document, with the selected word in the Suggestions list box.

Change all
This command replaces all occurrences of the currently highlighted word in the XML document, with the selected word in the Suggestions list box.

Recheck
The Recheck button restarts the check from the beginning of the document.

Close
This command closes the Spelling dialog box.

Options...
This command opens a dialog box depending on the current view.
·If opened from Document Editor view, the Options dialog box is opened.  
·If opened from the Text or Enhanced Grid view, the Spelling context dialog box is opened.
