typos on Web pages

At Bounds

The other problem is that the fill color is not applied up to the center of the
shape (polygon) being draw+n+, but ~1/2+½+ pixel further.

At Development and Bugs:

These pages demonstrate and provide workarounds ~vor+for+ various bugs known to exist, or use+d+ to exist within IM.
Most of these bug ~demonstartion+demonstration+ pages are not updated with the current distribution of IM. So that when a particular bug is fixed, the +present+ page can still demonstrate the unfixed effects of the bug.

At Operator Options Index:

-draw Draw ~Primatives+Primitives+, MVG, Canvas Clearing

Note that it is possible to use a spell checker as a part of the Web publishing process.

Dear Yecril71pl:

Let me try to make your main message clearer by rewriting your post:

Thank you Anthony for putting together the best and most comprehensive ImageMagick documentation available and putting more energy into adding content, developing and testing new methods and features, fixing bugs in the ImageMagick code, and helping users, than fixing harmless typos.

I never dared suggest to impose the burden on fixing harmless typos on the Great Anthony, let his name be hailed forever. This is obviously a task for useless trolls like your humble servant. However, I still think using a spell checker would be a good thing.

Note also that the typos are harmless only for readers fluent in English who can fix them while reading. They are not harmless when you use an automatic translator or a screen reader, although those certainly get smarter with time. (I suppose people who use a screen reader will not benefit much from using ImageMagick, so consider that a general statement.)

Dear yecril71pl:

My apologies for an inappropriately grumpy response.

And yes, I had completely missed the point that typos will foil automatic translation.

Typos are not my priority either, but if there's already a thread..
There's a typo - not at Anthony's sites, but at the options overview:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... ptions.php
In the upper list, there's "‑blackpoint‑compensation" (the dash is missing). And the link is also spelled "/script/../script/command-line-options.php#blackpoint-compensation" - that's why the link doesn't work.
Thanks!

Ehm.. Something has been changed. The link now works. But the option is now spelled "‑blackpoint‑compensation" everywhere. That's wrong!
If even you can get confused about that, it definitely has to be fixed.
It should be "‑black-point‑compensation" (with dash between black and point) - at the upper list and now also within the lower text with the explanations (well, and perhaps in the link and in the associated anchor).

[magick]

Fixed. Thanks.

A little picky, but fixed.

That I have trouble with certian words, that never seem to get fixing into my fingers when writing. Primitive os one of these (I almost did it again too in answering this). I double checked the 'draw' page where I use the word, so they should disappear form the main web site in a hour or so!

I do often use it, but it is not automated. Many words I use are valid in the Graphics world, but spell checkers complain about them. For example "ImageMagick", "Resize", "polylines" etc are all miss-spelt, but valid!

Also most of the examples and many options show up as a blaze of spelling errors. It is often difficult to see the real miss-spells over the multitude of valid miss-spells.

I do try though. Most errors are in new additions.

However thanks for you input.

Oh hey... just a few quotes for a little fun...

We misspelled the word misspelled twice, as mispelled, in the
Corrections and clarifications column on September 26, page 30.

Well, they did not disappear in 2 days or so
Also, certain is certainly one of those words

Also:

The reference.html file was not previously mentioned. I have fixed '-blackpoint-compensation' in that file.
Also not that that reference file is incomplete, though I do try to update it with appropriate references when I can.

Thanks, Anthony! (I didn't even notice that "-blackpoint-compensation" was also in this file.)
But yecril71pl probably meant that:

At Operator Options Index:

-draw Draw ~Primatives+Primitives+, MVG, Canvas Clearing

I though it was in the draw section, as that is where I typically use the word. I found a number of them there.
Also fixed in reference, though it may be a day or so to update.

[yecril71pl]

At -set key value:

such settings are ~globel+global+ in scope

[magick]

Fixed. It will take up to 24 hours for the update to propagate. Thanks.
