[Tex/LaTex] spell check package for LaTeX

Question

I normally use my gedit spell check extension for the task, but wouldn't it be much better if you could fix any typos or otherwise during compilation time, in a sort of interactive mode?

Answer 1

You can let TeX (rather luaTeX) do the spell checking for you! For example, in ConTeXt MkIV, you can use

\loadspellchecklist[en][wordlist.txt]
\setupspellchecking[state=start]

where en is the current language (you can set different word lists for different languages), and wordlist.txt is a sorted list of correct words. For a complete example, see the ConTeXt wiki
