MarkLogic Server 11.0 Product Documentationspell functions (Spelling Dictionary Management)
The spelling functions are designed to help you manage dictionary documents in MarkLogic Server. You can create dictionary documents in both JSON and XML formats. The spelling function module is installed as the following file:
install_dir/Modules/MarkLogic/spell.xqy
where install_dir is the directory in which
MarkLogic Server is installed.
To use the spell.xqy module in your own XQuery modules,
include the following line in your XQuery prolog:
import module namespace spell = "http://marklogic.com/xdmp/spell"
at "/MarkLogic/spell.xqy";
The library uses the spell: namespace, predefined in
the server.
The spelling correction functions (spell:is-correct and
spell:suggest) are built-in functions and do not require the
import module statement in the XQuery prolog.
There are also Spell Built-In functions, which you use to check if words are spelled correctly according to the dictionaries and to suggest alternate spellings.
