===== Spell checking a website =====
This was by request.  A user had a website and wanted to run spell check on it.  This is simple, just run:
<code bash>
aspell -H -c filename.php
</code>
The ''-c'' asks aspell to check, and the ''-H'' prepares it for HTML (it skips class names and php tags etc).

aspell only takes one filename at a time, but you can run through each file in a loop using:
<code bash>
for i in *.php; do aspell -c $i; done
