I recall it working pretty nicely.
On Linux, there are a few readily available libraries/utilities (like aspell, which Freespell is based on.)
I don't use Notepad++, I use NoteTab Pro (superior in every way!  ) which has a built-in spellchecker, amongst other things. I work in a virtual machine of Win2K, and basically only fire it up for NoteTab. I highly recommend that you switch your editor.  |
Hey, cap:
Actually, {insert blushing emoty here}, I
am using NoteTab, you turned me on to it and I love, love, love it. Still navigating my way around the clips, but it completely rocks. I simply typed Notepad++ when my brain thought Notetab. DUH.
WRT "freespell," I just tried it and it had a moderately disastrous result. I ran a spellcheck on one of my xhtml pages inside of Sigil, and when I went back to the page, the formatting had changed on the font. I tried it on a test file, so it was no big (and of course you can just exit w/o saving the unwanted change), but, still...I think I'd find something else, particularly for users who are new to Sigil, html, etc. FWIW!!
P.S. -
@Valloric, is there some reason we don't have a simple "close file" option on the menu, instead of having to exit out of Sigil or open a new file???
