Tech:Selective spelling checker

From Wikitravel Shared

Moved from en:Wikitravel:Feature requests by Evan

The spelling checker checks all words for spelling errors. However, Wikitravel Manual of style talks about using highlighting, italics and bolding to emphasose words, including foreign words. If the spelling checker was selective and ignored highlighted words, or even words in links to article or external links or only checked plain text, deliberate mispellings could be excluded at will. -- Huttite 02:15, 25 Dec 2005 (EST)

We don't have a spelling checker anymore, do we? Can we call this request "finished"? --Peter ^Talk 16:35, 25 March 2008 (EDT)
