HTML Spellchecker

Wants to spellcheck an HTML string properly? This gem is for you. It's powered by Nokogiri and hunspell-ffi!

How to use it

It's very simple. Install it with rubygems:

gem install html_spellchecker

Or, if you use bundler, add it to your Gemfile:

gem "html_spellchecker", :version => "~>0.1"

Then you can use it in your code:

require "html_spellchecker"
HTML_Spellchecker.english.spellcheck("<p>This is xzqwy.</p>")
# => "<p>This is <mark class="misspelled">xzqwy</mark>.</p>"

The HTML_Spellchecker class can be initialized by giving 2 paths: the affinity and dictionnary for hunspell. There are helpers to create a new instance for english and french dictionnaries.

Then, you can use spellcheck method: you give it an HTML string and it returns you with the same string with misspelled words enclosed in <mark> tags (with the misspelled class).

HTML_Spellchecker can avoid to check the spelling of special tags like <code>, by keeping a list of the tags to spellcheck in HTML_Spellchecker.spellcheckable_tags.
