Ignore URLs? about retext-spell HOT 4 CLOSED

Is there a reason why you’re not using remark or rehype as a base? If your text contains links, it may just be markdown, and you could us remark/remark-retext/retext, like in this example: https://github.com/unifiedjs/unified#programming-interface

from retext-spell.

@cfreeley Any thoughts on this?

It's not markdown, but I do understand your point- text is text, so the special cases should probably be made with that in mind. It's just with my use case, people will sometimes put just a URL, or an email address, or something, inside these documents that are all text 99% of the time. So I wasn't sure where the best place to resolve this was.

You could use remark, and only enable some of the rules? I laid that out in remarkjs/remark#248. I think that may be the best solution

There used to be a plugin for this: retext-link, but I felt it was weird to combine syntax with natural language.

Let me know if you’ve got further questions!
