Oxygen XML Author plugin 13.2.0

• French (Switzerland)• German (old orthography)• German (new orthography)• SpanishA pre-built dictionary can be added by copying the corresponding .dar file to the folder[Oxygen-install-folder]/dicts and restarting Oxygen XML Author plugin . There is one dictionary foreach language-country variant combination. If you cannot find a dictionary that is already built for your language youcan build such a dictionary with the tool available at http://www.xmlmind.com/spellchecker/dictbuilder.shtml.Learned WordsSpell checker engines rely on dictionary to decide that a word is correctly spelled. To tell the spell checker engine thatan unknown word is actually correctly spelled, you need to add that word to its dictionary. There are two ways to do so:• press the Learn button from the Spelling dialog;• invoke the contextual menu on an unknown word, then press Learn word.Learned words are stored into a persistent dictionary file. Its name is composed of the currently checked language codeand the .tdi extension, for example en_US.tdi. It is located in the folder:• folder on Windows XP• folder on Windows Vista• folder on Mac OS X• folder on LinuxTo delete items from the list of learned words, press Delete learned words from Spell Check preferences page.Ignored WordsThe content of some XML elements like programlisting, codeblock or screen should always be skipped bythe spell checking process. The skipping can be done manually word by word by the user using the Ignore button ofthe Spelling dialog or, more conveniently, automatically by maintaining a set of known element names that should neverbe checked. You maintain this set of element names in the user preferences as a list of XPath expressions that matchthe elements.Only a small subset of XPath expressions is supported, that is only the '/' and '//' separators and the '*' wildcard. Twoexamples of supported expressions are /a/*/b and //c/d/*.Automatic Spell CheckTo allow Oxygen XML Author plugin to automatically check the spelling as you write, you need to enable the Automaticspell check option from the Spell Check preferences page. Unknown words are highlighted and feature a contextualmenu which offers the following:• Delete Repeated Word action - allows you to delete repeated words;• a list of words suggested by the spell checking engine as possible replacements of the unknown word;• Learn Word action - allows you to add the current unknown word to the persistent dictionary.Spell Checking in Multiple FilesThe Check Spelling in Files action allows you to check the spelling on multiple local or remote documents. This actionis available from:•• contextual menu of the Project view;• contextual menu of the DITA Maps Manager view.The results are displayed in a view that allows grouping the reported errors as a tree with two levels.Text Editor Specific Actions | 381
