如何在Eclipse C / C ++版中检查纯文本文件的拼写？

Question

I'm using the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers, Luna Release (4.4.0). I enabled the spell checking (Preferences: General->Editors->Text Editors->Spelling: Enable Spell Checking) and I'm using a user defined dictionary.

The spell checking works perfect in C/C++ source files but I am puzzled how to do the spell checking of texts in plain text files. There is no automatical spell check or options like "Do spell check" in the context menu or in the main menu.

What am I missing?

Answer 1

Since this is still open, a workaround:

I am having a similar problem with getting the Eclipse Luna CDT C/C+ spell-checking engine to handle standalone *.dox files (no problem with inline Doxygen comments within source files).

The only workaround I could find ( http://thomasplagwitz.com/2015/03/02/getting-eclipse-cdt-to-spell-check-non-source-files/ ) was renaming my *.dox files to something that the spell checker seems to consider relevant, like *.dox.cpp.

The main issue is that the word is recognized to be a typo, yet there are no quick-fix proposals.
