Stephan Hennig submitted an update to the
spelling
package.
Summary description: support for spell-checking of LuaTeX documents
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package supports spell-checking of TeX documents
compiled with the LuaTeX engine. It can give visual
feedback in PDF output similar to WYSIWYG word
processors. The package relies on an external
spell-checker application that can check a plain text
file and output a list of bad spellings. The package
should work with most spell-checkers, even dumb,
TeX-unaware ones.
v0.4 (2013-05-23)
New features:
- In addition to lists of bad and good spellings,
words can be checked against user-defined match
rules to determine highlighting status.
Changes:
- Removed means to configure EOL character of text
output file. Standard Lua EOL character is always
used, which is platform dependent.
- Improved compatibility with recent LuaTeX versions
(v0.74 and newer).
- File <jobname>.spell.xml is loaded before file
<jobname>.spell.bad (if both files exist).
Fixes:
- Bad words with surrounding punctuation haven't been
highlighted. Determining whether a word needs to be
highlighted is now done by checking against the
lists of bad and good spellings words as they
appear in the document with possible punctuation as
well as with all surrounding punctuation stripped
(GitHub issue 8).
- Macro spellingoutputlinelength was broken.
- Raising an error when a file cannot be opened for
reading causes problems when compiling a document
for the first time. Now, only a warning is written
to the console and log file in that case.
