Reply To: Spell checker in XMetal does not call attention to joined words with markup

Thank you for responding and explaining.

My HTML editor would operate this way, so I anticipated the XML editor to check spelling and catch missing spaces. I understand the complexity of solving the problem in a general way for XML, though.

Using a 3rd party tool to check spelling again does help, but unfortunately, it adds additional work. I was just hoping to not have to duplicate the spell checking.

In the future it would be nice to see a setting in spellchecker rules to select. For example, “Check for omitted spaces between text and marup.” or “Check for joined words including markup.”

Thanks.
