This pull request is for implementing spellchecking in Gator Grader.

What is the current behavior?

This pull request is associated with issue #174. Currently there's no option for spellchecking in GatorGrader. This means that the tool does not ensure that reports are spelled correctly, or are even comprised of real words ie: garbage words. Therefore implementing a spellchecking feature would help ensure that reports are written correctly.

What is the new behavior if this PR is merged?

If merged there will be the option to use spellchecking as a GatorGrader check to ensure all writing (Outside of code blocks, segments, links, etc) in a markdown file is spelled correctly.

Other information

Currently spellchecking is functional but it does not correctly format markdown files for code blocks, code segments, links, etc. As of now there's no complete test files to ensure the spellcheck files are working as intended. Spell checking has been implemented using a tool called symspellpy. I have done some manual testing for detecting garbage words and I have found that it has been effective at detecting them.

This PR has:
  • Commit messages that are correctly formatted
  • Tests for newly introduced code
  • Docstrings for newly introduced code

This PR is a feature that fixes #174.
