[Bug 70724] gedit should be able to spellcheck latex documents

[Kim Nguyễn]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gedit

It seems that gedit spellcheker does'nt know how to skip latex commands while the underlying tools (ispell, aspell) can.
This is rather annoying as gedit is the default (and suposedly unique) editor used by a new user. It should provide that feature. This could also be valuable for html or xml documents in general where <tags> could be skipped by the typecheker.
