Re: [Doxygen-develop] Spell checking

[Stefan K. <ko...@im...>]

hi hi,
aspell already has a c/c++ comment mode. One idea for improvment I have for that
is to filter the wors against the TAGS database before spell-checking. This
would get dis of all the warning regarding mispelled words which are in fact
symbols (function names etc.).
