This is great info. I just converted a book with a MASSIVE Middle English quote, and it was painful. Quote:
But accidentally leaving in the wrong lang code would actually do harm. I do this for a living, and even I sometimes forget some little "temporary" code in there. And if you are going to be wasting your time spending your time very wisely marking the text anyway, why not just stick the ACTUAL language code then? Quote:
Did you see my comparison images here? https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...6&postcount=58 https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...6&postcount=60 If I knew about it, I would have used it in all my papers for school! Do you know how much it would have demolished that Microsoft Word/LibreOffice JUNK? I mean, once you join the LaTeX Master Race, you just don't go back! |

As I said, those are easy as pie since they might need a different font (and you can easily tell just from the characters that are used). Quote:
One span at a time... One span at a time... 1 correctly marked language span is better than 0. 2 is better than 1, 3 is better than 2... |

If you ignore "words" of several digits entirely that precludes finding errors in things like phone numbers, addresses and other numerical data in a more casual manner (I expect professional docs would have additional oversight to make sure numerical data is correct). In this case I'm thinking more of a mask comparison: there are 27 uses of 12345 and 01 uses of 12346, is this correct? In this way the potential outlier is obvious.
As for single in-word digits, while not particularly common, you may experience difficulty with sci-fi stories including leetspeak. This may also affect things like program names (ex: Win8). Granted, these are more likely to be edge cases than mainstream edits, but I thought I would mention them for consideration. |

I also use spell check to checkout commonly misspelt words. I was cleaning up a paper from a law school (the one that begins with Y that had a student called Dubbya). Over 30 occurrences of breech that should have been breach and none that remained as breech If the exclusion was done with exclude/include options on the file context menu then that should cater for my wish to exclude front/back matter files or yours to spell check chapter by chapter.
