CMF Spell Check

Provides spell-checking and correction of Plone and CMF content

Project Description

CMF Spell Check is a Unix Plone utility to perform spell checking on Documents and other Content-types. It works with plain text and HTML

• v0.6.3+ tested OK on Plone 2.5+
• v0.6+ versions for Plone 2.1 using AT content
• v.5.3 latest version for CMF and older Plone sites

Features

• spell check the body text of any valid content type
• crude support for multiple languages / dictionaries
• choose spelling tool and its switches
• ZMI control of dictionary, language and encoding options of available spellers
• spelling corrector with suggested words, showing mistake in context
• change all / ignore all corrections
• traditional plone dialogue in corrector form
• supplementary wordlist available, maintained through ZMI
• detects content types that cannot be checked even though they seem to be OK (usually where text content is pre-cooked)

Prerequisites

• Unix variant (not Windows or OS2 or other)
• Plone 2.5+
• CMFFormController (bundled with Plone)
• Python 2.3.3+ recommended for pipes
• A spell checker utility:
  • aspell
  • ispell

  Ispell works well under Unix variants; Aspell has some problems with its emulation of a pipe - CMFSpellCheck has been tested on Windows servers with aspell but has proved problematic on anything but small documents
