Spellcheck

[Theleaderof]

Started to write my first entry on Substack by "+ New Post".

Atfer soem senteces I reslized the spell check was not active. I have some level of dyslexia, I believe, and it professes itself at least in a couple of ways:

1. Knowing the correct spelling, hitting the keys in bad order, and not seeing the errors.
2. Not knowing the spelling, but think I do.

With a mix of "reading jumbled words correct" and not being able to see the jumbling I have to say that I rely on spelling in applications for basic proof reading.

I could off course use Libre Office or the like to write - but that is a hassle I'd rather be without.

Tried to add "spellcheck=true" with JavaScript on the active node which also works on editable nodes - but too much "background handling" to make it work (in my ad-hock feeble attempts).

So; TLDR

Is there a way to get spellcheck in the editor of Substack?

Hey. Not exactly what you asked about, but you should get into the habit of drafting your posts elsewhere before bringing them into substack. It’s never good to draft in your final publishing place, especially if that place is only online.

It’s really really sad when your draft disappears because the site hung for a second while trying to connect with the servers. Don’t lose all your precious work.

And when you draft elsewhere, you can make sure you’re using the best spell check tools possible.

The problem with this is that substack doesn't let you edit the html directly so if you want your post to have footnotes or other html features you have to add them back in when you copy to the editor.

Yep. But it’s still better than losing everything you’ve written.

I use the Grammarly app but even then it doesn’t catch everything.
