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:

    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
