If I :setlocal ft=text, everything is spell-checked, and :setlocal ft=html brings it back to text-only. What does it say when you do :verbose set spell? (with the question mark), the active cursor being in a non-spell-checked HTML file? After some more research, I find that if syntax is on, then spell does not highlight any errors in html files. If it is off, it does. This seems like a bug to me. At least, it's not what I want. Anthony Works for me -- the curly highlighting is in addition to HTML syntax highlights. For instance between A HREF=... and /A I notice bluish-grey (slateblue they call it) text with straight underline in the same colour (for HTML link text) and also with curly underline in red (for spelling error). However I notice that (with 'spell' on and 'spelllang' set to fr), perfectly valid French words are highlighted because one or more accented letters is replaced by an entity: donné is a valid French word, but the spell checker highlights donn in donneacute; as an error. Similarly deacute;sappointeacute;s (for désappointés). After setting syntax off then on clears your spell checking highlights, you should (I repeat) place the active cursor in the file where syntax highlights have replaced spell highlights and use :verbose set spell? with question mark. If 'spell' has been turned off, it should tell you which script did it. It just says spell Then spell checking mode is on, even though you don't see its highlights. Maybe you said it in an earlier post but I don't remember it: are you using gvim or Console Vim? (I am using gvim 7.0.131, huge version with GTK2/Gnome GUI, running on Novell-SuSE Linux Professional 9.3.) I'm using the Debian gtk version (7.0). It happens both with console and gvim. Bram suggests emailing the author of the html.vim file, which I've done. All other syntax files work as expected. Anthony - Which version of the HTML syntax script are you using? By doing :view $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/html.vim you'll see the date near the top. Mine is dated 2006 Jun 19; if yours is older than that, you can try downloading up-to-date runtime files from ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/ (except its dos/ subdirectory). - If you are willing to compile an up-to-date version yourself (and, if it works, uninstall the Debian Vim), it might help (but you need a development version of every package used by Vim for that). See my howto page http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compunix.htm for further info if you want to try this. If you do, you don't need to uninstall the Debian Vim until you have compiled your own version, seen that it works from where the make run put it (on my system it's /root/.build/vim/vim70/src/), and are ready to make install. - Have you checked all parts of HTML body text (I mean, purposely misspelling something in a comment, in non-comment text outside of all tags except HTMLBODY, inside of some additional tags, ...)? - Are you using a color scheme? If you are, try removing it, e.g. by setting :colorscheme default after starting gvim. - Other than that I'm at the end of my wits. Best regards, Tony.

And yes, spell is set and if I turn off html (set ft=text) it does work. But if html is specififed nothing is spell-checked. Anthony When I set 'spell', text (but not tag names or attributes) is spell-checked in my HTML files. If I :setlocal ft=text, everything is spell-checked, and :setlocal ft=html brings it back to text-only. What does it say when you do :verbose set spell? (with the question mark), the active cursor being in a non-spell-checked HTML file? It says nospell Anthony 'nospell' is the default setting, and it prohibits all spell checking. Add the line set spell to your vimrc, and restart Vim. If it doesn't cure your problem, retry :verbose set spell? in a non-spell-checked file to see if some other script undid what your vimrc had done. Best regards, Tony.
Re: Vim7: Spell checking not working with ft=mail
I'm using Vim with a filetype of mail right now, and it's able to do on-the-fly spell-checking :) A lot of filetypes have special provisions where they turn spell-checking off in certain areas that you don't want to spell-check. I think that the mail filetype turns off spell checking if what you're text is after an arrow (, , etc.). Is that what you're doing? HTH! Tom Purl Hi, I'm using Vim 7.0.10 and wanted to try out the new on-the-fly spell checking. It works great, but as soon as I set ft=mail, it stops working (no highlighting anymore). Any clues why?

Has spell been turned off by something? If you enter :verbose set spell? does it tell you if some plugin has been messing with your spell settings FWIW: I tried this and it worked.
