Recently, I’ve been working on spell checking the headers in ITK’s code base. My goal has been to improve the ITK/SimpleITK documentation which gets pulled from the headers. I’m posting here just to memorialize my work, in case someone needs to do likewise.
Here’s the repo for the script I use to spell check ITK’s headers and example code:
There’s a ‘setup’ script and the actually ‘spell’ script that does the work.
Within ‘spell’, it runs my original python script ‘codespell.py’ which comes from this repo:
For SimpleITK, we have a GitHub workflow that automatically runs spell checking on the code when a pull request is submitted. You can see that here:
You can see from the ‘–suffix’ flag that we spell check C++ headers, Python files, markdown files, and reStructuredText file.
While SimpleITK’s checking is automatic, for ITK, I’ve just been running my script by hand.
