Support of the no-spell-check tag defined by GtkSourceView

The syntax highlighting engine of the GtkSourceView library has a feature called “context classes”. One of the standard context classes is “no-spell-check”: it defines the regions in the GtkTextBuffer that should not be spell-checked.

GtkSourceView creates a GtkTextTag named "gtksourceview:context-classes:no-spell-check". gspell reads this tag, to skip the text contained within the tag.

If you use the GtkSourceView library in your application, keep in mind that the GtkTextTag created by GtkSourceView is for read-only purposes; you cannot apply it yourself to other regions.

On the other hand if the GtkSourceView library is not used, you can create a GtkTextTag with the same name to mark certain regions in the text that gspell should skip. As it is not a great API, it is planned to add an explicit API in GspellTextBuffer to set a GtkTextTag that gspell should skip.

See the class description of GtkSourceBuffer for more information about context classes.

gspell_text_buffer_get_from_gtk_text_buffer ()

GspellTextBuffer *
gspell_text_buffer_get_from_gtk_text_buffer
                               (GtkTextBuffer *gtk_buffer);

Returns the GspellTextBuffer of gtk_buffer . The returned object is guaranteed to be the same for the lifetime of gtk_buffer .

gspell_text_buffer_get_buffer ()

GtkTextBuffer *
gspell_text_buffer_get_buffer (GspellTextBuffer *gspell_buffer);

gspell_text_buffer_get_spell_checker ()

GspellChecker *
gspell_text_buffer_get_spell_checker (GspellTextBuffer *gspell_buffer);

gspell_text_buffer_set_spell_checker ()

void
gspell_text_buffer_set_spell_checker (GspellTextBuffer *gspell_buffer,
                                      GspellChecker *spell_checker);

Sets a GspellChecker to a GspellTextBuffer. The gspell_buffer will own a reference to spell_checker , so you can release your reference to spell_checker if you no longer need it.
