Spellcheck an HTML file in the terminal

  • 772

I have been trying to find a way to spellcheck my HTML file's content in Sublime for quality control. I have referenced several articles referring to aspell but after installation and trying to run through HTML files I am having to strip out all tags and its complicated trying to go through all HTML files on a package/project level. Is there a spellcheck tool that I can script with in the terminal that will ignore the tags and check the content? Any other ideas for better implementation I am for it

command-line

  1. Vim's spell checking is smart enough to distinguish between HTML tags and their contents:

    enter image description here

    Spell checking is not enabled by default, and can be enabled by:

    :set spell

    The documentation for spell checking in Vim can be browsed using :help spell.

    If you have never use Vim before, it can be a bit ... daunting. First install a more full-featured version:

    sudo apt-get install vim-gnome

    Then run gvimtutor to learn the basics of Vim.

  2. You can use aspell in the command line: 

    aspell -H check your_file.html

    the -H option makes it HTML aware.

    if you don't have it just install by:

    sudo apt install aspell
