ACE editor disables default browser spell-checking #198

Open monperrus opened 9 years ago

ACE editor disables default browser spell-checking that is available in textarea.

How to restore spell-checking? Should bluelatex embed its own spell-checker library?

tdurieux commented 9 years ago

I just found a latex specific branch for ACE: https://github.com/bardsoftware/ace/tree/latex_spellchecking which contains spell check. Unfortunately it isn't up to date.

I will check.

up for this issue. spell-checking is really important.

tdurieux commented 9 years ago

With ace editor it's not possible to use the browser spellcheck. I have to create a spell check, the client needs to download the dictionary (+- 1mo) and add several dependencies. (example of spell check ace extension: https://github.com/zedapp/spellchecker or https://github.com/benweet/stackedit/blob/dev/public/res/extensions/spellCheck.js)

It's not a small change.
