Fwd: Selective spellchecking

[BPJ]

Another case of me not finding the relevant parts/tags in the documentation:

Where can I find out how to set things up so that spell checking ignores markup, or conversely so that it ignores everything except comments? I'm sure it works through associating spell check with certain highlight groups — I just can't find it!

TIA,

That's a function of the syntax highlighting files; roughly:  syntax
[match|region] SomeNameHere patterns/start=pattern/end=pattern ...
contains=@Spell

So one specifies  that a syntax match or region will support spell checking.
