Hello,
for quite some time now (since version 2.0, I think), the spell checking feature in Kile does no longer work as expected for me. I can start a spell check, but it does NOT ignore any Latex commands, package names, environments, math symbols, etc. So it is in fact completely unusable. Currently, I am using Kile 2.1 beta 5 on KDE 4.4. I have installed aspell and enchantment. Doing a manual check with aspell on the command line works (almost) as expected. Installing ispell did not make any difference for Kile.
There are several Google hits on this topic, but all of them are either outdated (talking about kcontrol) or not helpful at all. I still have no idea how to configure the spell checker Kile uses. I do not even know which one is currently in use.
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Peter

Re: Spell checking in Kile
I tested aspell and myspell for croatian, works fine here (Debian Squeeze, Kile 2.1 beta 5, compiled from source; dictionaries and dev-files are installed previously from Debian repos). All commands themselves are ignored, but not the content inside the braces, i.e., arguments of commands. Math is ignored too. I guess kile is using spellchecker which is installed, be it aspell, myspell or ispell. I'm not sure if there is a central place for these settings, but my bet is on systemsettings > Regional and Language.
