Making Words Forbidden

There are several ways to mark a word as forbidden:

1. In a custom word list with words beginning with !.

   !forbiddenWord
   

2. In words section of cspell configuration:

   "words": [
       "!forbiddenWord",
       "configstore"
   ],
   

3. In flagWords section of cspell configuration:

   "flagWords": ["forbiddenWord"]
   

Overriding Forbidden words

Sometimes it is necessary to allow a word even if it is forbidden.

In a comment

/**
 * Do not mark `forbiddenWord` as incorrect.
 * cspell:ignore forbiddenWord
 */

In the cspell configuration

{
    "ignoreWords": ["forbiddenWord"]
}
