\setupspellchecking[state=start,method=2] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext
Slightly off-topic: Just as Wolfgang's reply came in I was setting up a new version of http://tinyspell.com/ Editor-based spell-checkers are usually not very useful (although some LaTeX-centric editors are pretty good at it.) I never knew about \setupspellchecking before now. Perhaps it could evolve into something very useful. Part of spell-checking involves getting uppercase vs lowercase right. I see that the .words output of \setupspellchecking ignores case, and treats '-' (the simple dash) as a word separator. I'd like to see this evolve into something more precise.
words shorter than four letters aren’t taken into account.
I get *some* words shorter than four letters in the output, so there must be some other logic going on... Thanks for pointing out this utility, Wolfgang, and Best wishes Idris -- Idris Samawi Hamid Professor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
