How to use ispell in org mode: goal is to skip source blocks

How to use ispell in org mode: goal is to skip source blocks

[Grant Rettke]

Hi,

Org 8.2.6, Emacs 24.3.1.

Working on large literate org documents takes a lot longer when ispell
reports errors in the source
code. My goal is to avoid spell checking anything inside the source
blocks. For example the following lines would not be spell checked at
all:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(require 'expand-region)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-=") 'er/expand-region)
#+end_src

Looking around on the org list via a search engine did not yield many results.

You can use this:

(add-to-list 'ispell-skip-region-alist '("#\\+begin_src". "#\\+end_src"))

Not really a FAQ, but useful, so I've added a note here:

good idea! This is a rather unknown feature, I have the impression...

Note that it shouldn't be necessary in Org 8.3.

From what I understand, it isn't necessary if the user is using
flyspell.  But when using M-x ispell-buffer RET directly, source
blocks are still checked.  Or did I miss something?

No, you're right. I thought about M-x flyspell-buffer after
flyspell-mode has been enabled.
