# Spell-check docs and code comments with source-aware filters using pyspelling

Run filtered spell checks over Markdown, Sphinx, HTML, or code comments without flattening everything into one noisy text stream.

## Prerequisites

Python, pyspelling, and an installed dictionary backend such as Aspell or Hunspell.

## Installation

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- [![PyPI - Python Version][python-image]][pypi-link]
- names, PySpelling can do it. If you want to scan Python files for docstrings, but also avoid specific content within the
- Python modules, you can easily write your own.
