I've used aspell for checking DocBook XML documents. You can
configure it to ignore certain elements like programlisting, and you can add
lists of words to ignore.

It looks like you might be able to modify the dictionary to include your
terms.

Won't you have to identify those technical terms in some way no matter what
solution you devise? Either someone clicks "Add word" repeatedly ;) or you
find/create a disctionary file that works with your chosen tool.

DocBook/ XML documents
Hi,
I´m probably not the first one to ask this question, but
I still need to ask:
Is there any
efficient, mostly MS-Word-like method to spell and grammar check XML documents
and/ or their transformation results (HTML, Pdf, etc.)?
I admit that I´m pretty spoiled when it comes to spell checking.
In private I use MS Word, but in my company we switched to Oxygen XML to
maintain our user manual. We´re getting used to it, but there is still one major
issue we need to handle: Spell and grammar checking.
Basically, our documents are available in thee formats: XML,
HTML and PDF. Each document has approx 50 pages. (Some documents only have 20
pages, other more than 100). No matter how often we review a document, there
will always be remaining mistakes.
So, is there any efficient way (workarounds included) to spell
and grammar check our documents?
By
the way, I´m already using the supplied Java spell checker, but it´s too simple.
I also tried Hunspell Spell checker (Open Office spell checker), but it´s pretty
useless since it won´t learn any words (Which is annoying since every second
word is a technical term and therefore highlighted as a mistake. ).
Thanks for your help,
Daniel
