Hello,
Does pspell (spell checker) work with Moodle's html editor?
My web hosting company only supports pspell (currently).
Best regards,

Sorry 
. Spelling is currently using aspell only! Although it would be great to have pspell option in it.

Re: Pspell and HTML Editor
Hello Janne,
How difficult would it be to program html editor to use pspell?
I'm willing to give it a shot if it's not too difficult.
(I'm new at php)
Best regards,
Ray

It isn't easiest task to begin with, but not overwhelming either. Give it a swing

Re: Pspell and HTML Editor
I have php configured to use pspell - Is anyone using pspell instead of aspell. I am running on a Windows 2003 environment and for security reasons do not want to give access to cmd.exe (which I understand is required in order to get aspell working). Does anyone have any ideas of the best way to proceed? Peace - Anthony
Re: Pspell and HTML Editor
Anthony,
I am using ieSpell for my personal use in Moodle. ieSpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell checks text input boxes on a webpage.
It is limited to IE and each machine must have it installed but it works for me since most people are still using IE and those who aren't can copy and paste their text into a word prossesor to check the spelling and then paste it back into Moodle.

Re: Pspell and HTML Editor
Thanks - I will let my students know that that is an option since most of them do use IE. I encourage the use of Firefox mostly because I like tabbed browsing - especially when working with Moodle. I generally do encourage my students to use a word processor for writing their papers just in case something happens to their internet connection there is less risk of them 'losing' work.
As for aspell/pspell It seems to me that providing a PHP solution (via the pspell extension) to spell checking would be desirable; however, I am not sure how other folks feel about changing. Granted on a linux box it is not an issue; however, for the time being I will be running on a WIMP server. Peace.
