[Tex/LaTex] Make spellchecker ignore contents of certain commands in TexMaker

spellingtexmaker

Some commands in LaTeX almost never contain meaningful words. Some prime examples are:

  • \label
  • \ref
  • \includegraphics
  • \input
  • \cite

In TexMaker, however, all words are included in the spellcheck, meaning there are plenty of false positives on each run of the check. Is it possible to get the spellchecker to ignore the contents of certain commands? Ideally the list of ignored commands would be user-editable.

If it is not possible in TexMaker, is there similar software which does contain this functionality?

This is currently not possible, as discussed in Issue 187 of the Texmaker issue tracker. Maybe other editors do have this feature, you can find an overview of editors in the big list: LaTeX Editors/IDEs.
