This package includes a couple of tools that you can use to automatically spell-check your SGML (or XML) documents. One of the advantages of this tool over some other SGML-aware spell checkers is that it scans your documents in the form in which the SGML parser actually sees it, which means it is not line-based, system entities are resolved, marked sections are treated appropriately, etc.
Also, this tool can be made aware of particular DTDs, in the
sense that it knows not to spell-check the content of elements
that do not represent human-language text, such
as <programlisting>
in DocBook. An exclusion list for
the DocBook DTD is included, others can be added trivially.
The original motivation of this package was that I wanted a way to spell-check the PostgreSQL documentation automatically. Right now, this program runs regularly over the PostgreSQL documentation and makes the results available online.
