<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label spell</title>
</head><body>
<h3>Spelling checkers for work with TeX</h3>
<p/>For Unix, <i>ispell</i> was long the program of choice; it is well
integrated with <i>emacs</i>, and deals with some TeX syntax.
However, it has more-or-less been replaced everywhere, 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>.
