A mode is selected via the "mode" option. This will happen implicitly if Aspell is able to identify the file type from the extension, and possibility the contents, of the file. comment mode to check any lines starting with a # sgml mode for checking generic SGML/XML documents none mode to disable all filters url mode to skip URL like constructs (default mode) perl mode for checking Perl comments and string literals debctrl mode for Debian packaging control files ccpp mode for checking C++ comments and string literals ddtp mode for Debian DDTP-emails nroff mode for checking Nroff documents texinfo mode for checking Texinfo documents tex mode for checking TeX/LaTeX documents html mode for checking HTML documents email mode for skipping quoted text in email messages
