Spell check to ignore {...}

[06nH]

Hi,

I think I may not have a 100% Scrivener question, but I hope this forum can help resolve the issue.

In my text (in Scrivener) I have a lot of temporary/placeholder citations that are formatted between curly brackets. Is there a way to ignore generally stuff between curly brackets in the spell checker, rather than ignoring or teaching the spell checker all the temporary code? It is hard to identify the genuine errors in a sea of orange.

Thanks.

I’m pretty sure the spell check file (~/Library/Spelling) only takes basic linear strings of letters as values, not strings with wildcards. So you can’t put something like “{*}" in there… that’ll just tell the spell check engine to ignore those punctuation marks (and it should do that already anyway).
