Evaluation of the student papers, lecture slides and some exercises are all done in the form of Rmd files. These function find all the relevant Rmd-files in a directory and check the spelling using the package spelling.

Usage

spell_check_evaluation(path = ".", students = NULL, use_wordlist = TRUE)

spell_check_slides(path = ".", use_wordlist = TRUE)

Arguments

path

path to the top level directory of the evaluations for spell_check_evaluation() or the top level of a lecture for spell_check_slides()

students

an optional character vector with student names. If given, only the evaluation for these students will be checked.

use_wordlist

should a list of words be excluded from the spell check? The package contains separate word lists for evaluations and slides/exercises with words that have typically appeared in these documents in the past. When spell checking the paper evaluations, the names of the students will always be excluded from spell check, even if use_wordlist is FALSE.

Details

spell_check_evaluation() finds Rmd-files with evaluations in subfolders starting from the current working directory or the directory given by path. The file names must be of the form "Beurteilung_Student.Rmd", where "Student" must be replaced by the student's name. By default, words contained in a wordlist that is part of the package as well as all the students' names are excluded from the spell check, but this can be turned off by setting use_wordlist = FALSE. (Note that the students' names will still be excluded.)

spell_check_slides() finds Rmd-files with evaluations in subfolders starting from the current working directory or the directory given by path. In order to exclude a file from the spell check, make sure it's first line contains the term "nospellcheck", typically in the form of an html-comment:

<!-- nospellcheck -->

By default, words contained in a wordlist that is part of the package are excluded from the spell check, but this can be turned off by setting use_wordlist = FALSE.
