Text editor with spell checker that ignores (X)HTML/CSS/javascript tags?

Question

Do you know of any text editor that can be used with a spell checker which is smart enough to ignore XHML/CSS and javascript tags?

The requirements would be:

1. It must run in Linux;
2. It must be free and open source;
3. It doesn't need to have WYSIWYG capabilities, but they would be welcome.
4. It must have built in "tag skipping" capabilities or be configurable to skip (X)HTML tags, CSS and embedded Javascript;

5. It doesn't need to have a HTML validator, but if it does it will be a plus;

   I've tried to use spell checker plugins for Kate, HTML validators for Firefox, Eclipse's HTML editor, but I couldn't find a solution that have a speel checker that ignores hml tags.

Thanks for any help, Luís

Answer 1

Emacs + flyspell-prog-mode + nxhtml-mode

Answer 2

Vim. For example, I use the following settings:

set spell
set spelllang=en_gb

Answer 3

Although other people have cited other good text-based editors, some people might find a GUI application easier to learn.

There is the BlueFish editor. It supports HTML, CSS, Javascript and other languages. I've just experimented a little more and its spell checker does ignore all HTML tags.

Edit: the spell checker doesn't ignore javascript, though. Other than that, it works.
