Automatic documentation spell check

From
Peter Eisentraut
Date:
I've installed an automatic spell-checker for the documentation.  You can
see the results at

http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/spell-check.txt

It updates every time the documentation updates.

Obviously, it's not perfect, but I've found it quite useful over time.  In
fact, you'll see a couple of genuine misspellings right in this run.

(See <http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/spellcheck.html> for the
software behind this.)

Should we list this URL on the developer's page where we list the doc
builds?

I guess so, just don't make too many assumptions about its accuracy.
