+<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label spell</title>
+</head><body>
+<h3>Spelling checkers for work with TeX</h3>
+<p>For Unix, <i>ispell</i> has long the program of choice; it is well
+integrated with <i>emacs</i>, and deals with some TeX syntax.
+However, it is increasingly challenged by <i>aspell</i>, which was
+designed as a successor, and certainly performs better on most
+metrics; there remains some question as to its performance with
+(La)TeX sources.
+<p>For Windows, there is a good spell checker incorporated into many of
+the <a href="FAQ-editors.html">shell/editor</a> combinations that are available.
+The spell checker from the (now defunct) 4AllTeX shell remains
+available as a separate package, <i>4spell</i>.
+<p>For the Macintosh, <i>Excalibur</i> is the program of choice. It
+will run in native mode on both sorts of Macintosh. The distribution
+comes with dictionaries for several languages.
+<p>The VMS Pascal program <i>spell</i> makes special cases of
+some important features of LaTeX syntax.
+<p>For MSDOS, there are several programs. <i>Amspell</i> can be
+called from within an editor, and <i>jspell</i> is an extended
+version of <i>ispell</i>.
