The good old aspell
utility is actually quite up-to-date.
One of its many features is a command-line switch, that allows you to tell it
the filetype it is about to encounter. With this switch, it becomes a breeze
to test all your Markdown files for typos.
for file in *.md
do
aspell check --mode=markdown --lang=en "$file"
done
If you want to store additional words in a per-project file, you can tell
aspell
the location of a personal dictionary with the --personal
parameter, which expects an absolute path:
aspell check --mode=markdown --lang=en --personal="$PWD"/project.list file.md
With aspell
’s --mode
parameter you can also check HTML files or Perl source
code.
