One more help request. How can I write a better command that would check a whole document, or selected text, and spell check it through excalibur.
What I am using now is:
input: document open -a excalibur "$TM_FILEPATH" output: disgard
This calls excalibur with the file fine. I run the spell check and make changes and then excalibur asks me to save it. When I return to TextMate the page does not show the corrections until I click on it. Any further suggestions for the code much appreciated.
If anyone would like this added to the LateX bundle, I would be happy to add it.
Cheers Robert

I don't know excalibur, but what advantages does it have over the system spell checker that TextMate currently uses? If the only advantage is that it skips the markup, then this should be solved in beta 6/7 where it'll (amongst others) be possible to selectively disable spell checking for elements matched by the syntax definition.
Skipping markup is pretty much the main advantage (including url checking and \tt skipping). Excalibur also allows adding a lot of dictionaries so it makes it easy to check in several languages.

I look forward to your implementation though. Sounds great!

CocoAspell is another option. It has filters built-in for: HTML TeX/LaTeX Email
It also has the option to recognize camelBackWords and treat them intelligently. Plus a page for user defined filters.
An advantage of CocoAspell is that it already works with TM. Aspell just appears as another dictionary in the system spelling menu.
