Because I'm currently doing a lot of non-programming tasks in Emacs, spell-checking became one of my major concerns once again.
I noticed that there is no question related to the options for spell-checking in Emacs yet, so here we go:
What are my options to do spell-checking in Emacs?
Specifically,
- for general purpose spell-checking, i.e. sensible suggestions for typos, spell correction of words
- for selective spell-checking, e.g. general purpose spell-check but only in comments
- for anything which I forgot or am not aware of but you can think of (spell-check related, duh...)
