    Spell check action

  • Now we have to add a configuration file for the spelling checker. It uses PySpelling under the hood. When checking Markdown files, it first converts a Markdown text file's buffer using Python Markdown and returns a single SourceText object containing the text as HTML. Then it captures the HTML content, comments, and even attributes and performs the check. It has a lot of configuration options, but here we are going to see only an example with some basics. For further info you can read the docs of the rojopolis/spellcheck-github-actions Github action.
