I've used aspell for checking DocBook XML documents. You can configure it to ignore certain elements like programlisting, and you can add lists of words to ignore.

Either someone clicks "Add word" repeatedly ;) or you find/create a disctionary file that works with your chosen tool.

I admit that I´m pretty spoiled when it comes to spell checking. In private I use MS Word, but in my company we switched to Oxygen XML to maintain our user manual. We´re getting used to it, but there is still one major issue we need to handle: Spell and grammar checking. Basically, our documents are available in thee formats: XML, HTML and PDF. Each document has approx 50 pages. (Some documents only have 20 pages, other more than 100). No matter how often we review a document, there will always be remaining mistakes. So, is there any efficient way (workarounds included) to spell and grammar check our documents? By the way, I´m already using the supplied Java spell checker, but it´s too simple. I also tried Hunspell Spell checker (Open Office spell checker), but it´s pretty useless since it won´t learn any words (Which is annoying since every second word is a technical term and therefore highlighted as a mistake. ).
