well when I test it in code view, it destroys all the HTML tags!

I am using win 7 64 bit , latest sigil + downloaded spell checker today.

i.e. I open an epub in sigil ,go to code view, hit CTRL+f12 to bring up spell check window. seems to work, but when I tell it to return text to sigil - that is when it wipes out all HTML

it "seems" to work better in book view . if I check + replace book view text then switch to code view - the HTML seems undamaged, (1st test - in my 2nd test in another book - all text became blue+ underlined! ) I'm reluctant to use it "for real" until I know more about how it works.

am I supposed to use it a a spell checker but still correct the detected errors manually within the sigil window ?

I'd also like to know - can it be configured to NOT spell check any capitalised words - that would bake it superior to MS word . most novels have lots of capitalised proper names & t'would be better if they could all be ignored by default.
