Spell checking

[jeroen]

To run a spell check on all Rmd files:

spell_check_files(list.files(pattern=".Rmd"), lang = 'en-GB')

Mostly false positives but a few hits:

  WORD                   FOUND IN
absense                base-types.Rmd:117
analog                 beyond-exception-handling.Rmd:271
                       Functionals.Rmd:478
arugment               Evaluation.Rmd:499
attibute               Translation.Rmd:176
...

We can also automate this if you'd like.

Hmmm, I kind of like fixing spelling mistakes as an easy intro to doing a PR with github. But would be worth doing prior to release.

@jeroen has anyone plumbed this up with rstudioapi to automatically jump to the correct line?

[jeroen]

No not yet. If I remember correctly there was an unsolved issue with getting the source line numbers from roxygen2 comment documentation, so we are still spelling checking from the .Rd files.

[jeroen]

Actually that only holds for the manual documentation, perhaps this doesn't matter for markdown files. Anyway afaik no rstudioapi support yet.
