Web addresses

When I paste plain text urls into a document, they are indicated as spelling errors. I would like this not to happen.

In Options, I have “Automatically detect web addresses” disabled, which is as close as can find to a setting that might control this.

If I turn the plain text into a live link, the red misspell underlining goes away. But I do not want these urls to be live links.

I can add the urls to my dictionary, but, well, I’d really rather not.

Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!

Do you want them to not function as links in the Scrivener Editor, or do you only care about the output document? You can disable live linking via the Compile command while still recognizing them as links for spellcheck purposes.

Hi. Thanks. That’s a good question.

My concern is only in the editor. Basically, I don’t want to see the red underlining, while keeping enabled the option to show errors. But web addresses will almost always have “errors.” And the red squiggly lines distract… as intended, really…

Using Ignore Spelling works, as Vincent suggests, and is what I’ve been doing. But they still end up in the wordlists.ini file, same as if adding them. Not a real problem, but I thought there might be a way of not adding so many non-word one-offs to the custom dictionary.

Hmm… You sure about that ?

I just told Scrivener to ignore a voluntarily misspelled word in a project.
Then closed the project.
Opened another project and pasted that very same misspelled word.
And it is reported as misspelled.

So I think you are wrong. (Sorry.)

I find that when I choose to ignore a misspelled word, it is immediately added to wordlists.ini at "C:\Users\Usernname\AppData\Local\LiteratureAndLatte\Scrivener\

But within the Ignore block, it is associated with a specific project. In Notepad++, it appears as each project and its ignored words, separated by commas, together in a single “line” of text.

ProjectName1=mail.google.com, soige, porgha
ProjectName2=www.literatureandlatte.com

I think maybe we are both right…?

Agreed.

I guess you could simply delete that part from the word list once you are done with a project. If it bugs you.
