Am I Missing Something? (spellchecker)
Just started using this program. To edit some of my older ebooks (clean them up) and then noticed I couldn't find a spellchecker. So I am assuming it doesn't have one. Is this assumption correct? Or is it just hiding? Or in the form of a plugin? If true I am a bit surprised only because its called an editor.
Thanks. |

Some of the books have a pattern of misspellings so Im using the replace command. But this is slow. Spellchecker would go much faster lol. Anyway thanks for the post. |

I would recommend ASPELL. It's not directly a plug-in for Sigil, but it's a stand-alone spell checker that can probably help you get what you're looking for.
To be honest, we're very lucky to have an editor for any ePub, because the intention of ePub is that it is *supposed* to be "final". |

Point being, I'm aware of Sigil's limitations, and I'm the one that's the most pissed off my them. The reason for that is because I know how to fix/implement all of it, it's just that time is such a precious commodity to a grad student. I also feel like crap when I experience some of the shortcomings personally, and then realize that several thousand of Sigil's users are also feeling the same. It makes me want to drop everything so I can work on it, but alas, we all have responsibilities that take precedence over things we would rather be doing. |
