Spellchecking Selections

Select some text in the textarea and click "Spellcheck".



Spellchecking a text selection is merely a matter of defining the appropriate text source implementation. 

In this example we define the TextSource's get_text() method to obtain the text from the currently selected text in the textarea. set_text() replaces the selection with the corrected text.
