Excalibur is a Macintosh spelling checker for LaTeX documents. You can optionally turn off LaTeX parsing, so Excalibur is a good plain text spelling checker too.
Features include:
• Excalibur will offer suggestions for how to correct a word.
• Excalibur can spell check the clipboard. This makes it a good spelling checker for any text based application such as Alpha, BBEdit, or Eudora.
• You can teach it about new LaTeX commands and environments that
you define.
• Optionally spell checks text in the typewriter (\tt) font.
• You can create your own dictionaries.
• Works with Textures and OzTeX documents. It should work on any TEXT file.
• You will need System 6.0.4 or higher to run Excalibur.
• If you are running System 7 or greater, there is balloon help.
• Excalibur is free.
• British, Dutch, French, and Italian dictionaries are also available.
Version 1.5 changes:
• Added options that let the user choose how Excalibur should behave when you launch it. You may choose to present an "open file" dialog, open the clipboard if it has text, or do nothing. When the clipboard option is checked, Excalibur will also open the clipboard when it receives a resume event (if it contains text).
• Adjusted a few of the dialogs so that they all appear and behave consistently. Hitting Return or Enter is the same as clicking the default button. Command period is the same as cancel.
• Made some changes so that Excalibur's interactions with Alpha are smoother.
• Fixed the Edit Commands dialog so that it is a bit more intuitive.
• Fixed the Edit Environments dialog so that you no longer enter the number of arguments. Excalibur never used these values anyway.
• You can now drag Excalibur's windows to another monitor.
