GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 781265
Update the spell-checking page
Last modified: 2017-11-23 14:40:14 UTC
I'll attach two patches.
Created attachment 349789 [details] [review] platform-overview: rename page enchant -> spell-checking Spell-checking is more general, there are several libraries to describe: Enchant and gspell.
Created attachment 349790 [details] [review] platform-overview: rewrite spell-checking page There is now the gspell library for GTK+ text widgets integration. gspell can do everything that GtkSpell can do, and much more. So GtkSpell is no longer recommended, see: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gspell/FAQ gspell has a spell checker dialog, so it is not only for "real-time spell checking". So, rename the description of the page to be more general. Replace Empathy by gedit, Empathy is no longer well maintained so it is not a good example.

^^^ Added <code></code> tags around GtkEntry and GtkTextView.
Of course I'm a bit biased to recommend gspell, but the FAQ should be objective enough: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gspell/FAQ
7 months without a response, is the gnome-devel-docs module unmaintained? I've worked hard to create the gspell library, it has more features than GtkSpell, is hosted on gnome.org, has spell-checking for GtkEntry (something that was missing for GTK+ 3 during five years), … The platform overview in gnome-devel-docs is the canonical place where to recommend GNOME-related libraries, so it's important to update it from time to time.
Review of attachment 349789 [details] [review]: Sure, seems fine.
