spellchk-test-lex

A test package for spell check lexicons

This project adds in spellcheck lexicons and more importantly a custom dictionary which can be updated. Lexicon files: myTestLexicon06input.tlx - input file in clear text myTestLexicon06.clx - compressed final lexicon file

Note that you should keep your files containing words in text form (the input text file), since there is no way to convert a compressed lexicon back to text.

The configuration file .npmignore lists directories and files to be excluded from the build package when running npm install or build
