Version: 2.1 beta 3 (using KDE 4.4.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Archlinux Packages I am running kile 2.1 beta 3 on kde 4.4.0 on kdemod/archlinux. I have installed /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kate/syntax/data/latex.xml Revision 1073457 as described in another bugreport regarding spell-check issues. Kiles built-in spellchecker recognizes most of the latex-commands as such. However, it still checks the arguments of \usepackage, e.g. in "\usepackage{amsfonts}" the word "amsfonts" is considered being a typo. Kile also spell-checks comments which causes trouble when the comments are in a different language as the document or contain technical stuff. As the spelling in comment doesnt matter much that should be disabled. I also noticed that the spell checker does not work with not-so-common packages, e.g. "mchem" which is used for chemical formulas: In "\ce{O2 + M -> O2^{*} + M}" the O2s are marked as typos. As there are countless latex packages, it might be worth a thought turning off spell checking for every unknown text inside curly brackets. I also checked the file using aspell which worked correctly. Anyway, thanks for the inline spellchecking, that was my most awaited feature of all. crabman
This bug is the subject of much pain for Ubuntu users, and has been marked "confirmed" on launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kile/+bug/380860 The Ubuntu maintainers are refusing to touch this without an upstream patch. Right now this means that the Kile spell check functionality in the current version of Ubuntu (9.10) is broken.

I think that the Ubuntu bug to which you are referring here is about pre-KDE 4.4 spell checking, which wasn't LaTeX aware at all. Updating to KDE 4.4 and making sure that not an old "latex.xml" highlighting file is lying around will fix that.
I also experience this bug with Kile 2.1 Beta 3 on KDE 4.4.2 on Debian. "dpkg -S" tells me that the only latex.xml file is installed in /usr/share/kde4/apps/katepart/syntax/latex.xml, which comes from the package kdelibs5-data 4.4.2-1. I also agree that spell checking should be disabled inside comments and all curly brackets following unknown commands.

This is not a bug against Kile, it's a bug against katepart, the editor. Anyway, it's largely fixed in the newest version of latex.xml in the git repo, details at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323086 If the newest version still flags things incorrectly, let me know and I'll attempt to further hack the highlighting definitons
