This dialog box is displayed by clicking the " which is next to the " " button " button found in the status bar.
Procedure for checking current document for spelling errors:
Click on the
button.During the check spelling session, use any of the buttons described below.
The check spelling session can be stopped by
clicking on
,OR typing Esc.
Selects the language of the dictionary used by the spell checker when such language is not specified in the element being checked for spelling (typically through the use of an attribute such as lang
or xml:lang
).
It is possible to switch from a default language to another at any time. In such case, when the default language is actually used (that is, when lang
or xml:lang
attributes have not been specified), the spell checker is automatically restarted with the other dictionary, beginning at the last word for which the spell checker has found an error.
The last selected default language is recorded in the user preference file in order to be automatically chosen in subsequent XXE sessions.
In this example,
Test.xhtml
does not have xml:lang
attributes set on its elements, which means that the default language, English, is used to spell check this document.
Except, in span
containing "le petit cha est mort" where attribute xml:lang
has been set to fr
. This means that for that element only, the default language, English, is ignored and that a French dictionary will be used.
In the above screenshot, notice that the actual language of span
"le petit cha est mort", fr
, is displayed at the top/right of the "Check Spelling" dialog box.

An empty text field may be used to delete the erroneous word.
