<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== The Spell Checking Option ==<br /> MoinMoin looks for valid words in two places:<br /> * the &quot;dict&quot; directory in the MoinMoin package directory<br /> * the page LocalSpellingWords<br /> <br /> If the &quot;dbhash&quot; module is available with your Python installation, the files in &quot;dict&quot; are read only &#039;&#039;once&#039;&#039; and stored in a hash table. This speeds up the spell checking process because then the number of words in the &#039;&#039;checked page&#039;&#039; determines the time needed for the checking, &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; the number of words in the dictionary (with 250000 words, some hundred milliseconds instead of several seconds).<br /> <br /> BTW, a UNIX machine normally comes with at least one words file; to use those, create a symlink within the dict directory, like so:<br /> MoinMoin/dict&amp;gt; ln -s /usr/dict/words .<br /> On some systems, the words file is found in &quot;/usr/share/dict/words&quot; instead.<br /> <br /> === Example ===<br /> MoinMoin&amp;gt; ls -l dict<br /> drwxr-xr-x 7 544 everyone 0 Jan 04 08:29 CVS<br /> -rw-r--r-- 1 544 everyone 409067 Jan 04 06:38 american-english<br /> -rw-r--r-- 1 544 everyone 2913577 Jan 25 2000 german.txt<br /> -rw-r--r-- 1 544 everyone 92631 Nov 30 15:24 top10000de.txt<br /> </div>
