Spell check wildcards (in General)

AdminNightStrike July 12 2007 1:12 PM EDT

Does the spell checker support wildcards or regular expressions? Words beginning with http:// should be ignored (especially when posting links to forum posts.)

Sheesh... "wildcard" and its plural form are both words, indeed.

No definitions found for "wildcard", perhaps you mean: foldoc: "wild card"

And, the spell checker ignores arguments to html tags, so it won't complain about the entire href="" part.

I want to be able to post a link without switching to HTML mode.

As for "wild card", dictionary.com thinks it's a word:
