When using code blocks there’s a _lot_ of words/commands/phrases that aren’t real words.

Is there a simple(ish) way of disabling spell checking, but only inside of code blocks?

There’s [this github issue with the same problem/request](https://github.com/silverbulletmd/silverbullet/issues/421) and it’s mentioned as [being resolved in a commit](https://github.com/jamesob/silverbullet/commit/75aa3171ff1db018d30b4ceef318c7e3631140b2), but it looks like its still happenening?

Thank you!

The css attribute seems to be only set for Fenced code blocks, i.e. triple backticks. Not for indented codeblocks nor for inline code.

I think it should really be set for `InlineCode CodeText`

EDIT: My conscience can’t do a pull at the moment, because I should really be studying 😶. Maybe someone else can fix it?

_web/editor\_state.ts_

```js
{
  selector: "InlineCode CodeText",
  disableSpellCheck: true,
},

```

and `disableSpellCheck` should be removed for `FencedCode`
