How to turn off red underlines in comments in Netbeans?

Question

There is a similar question : "Netbeans - Turn off - wavy red underlines - How?" But It's for earlier version, doesn't apply any more.

I still want error to be underlined, just not in the comments, it's now underlined something like : "buffersize"

Answer 1

In Netbeans 12.0 this option can be found under the Editor tab. Not in the Miscellaneous tab.

Goto

Options -> Tools -> Editor -> SpellChecker Tab

Rest is the same as the first answer.

Answer 2

In NetBeans IDE 7.4 _{RC1 (Build 201309162201)}, you can disable spellchecking under
Tools → Options → Editor → Spellchecker tab

The settings refer to:

• C/C++/Fortran Comments
• GSP
• HTML
• JSP
• Javadoc comments
• PHP
• Piain text
• Properties
• Script and Make Comments
• XHTML
• XML

Here is an example BEFORE and AFTER disabling HTML spellchecking.

Answer 3

This is explained and illustrated in How to disable red-underline spellchecker in Netbeans 7:

To remove it simply choose Tools → Options → Miscellanous, then in Spellchecker tab uncheck the C/C++/Fortran Comments and press OK. [...]

The specific result of disabling the spellchecker depends on the target language/syntax of course, but likely this should yield the desired effect.
