Can the spell check ignore text between named tags?

I have XML docs that have software code snippets included between tags like <programlisting> and/or <instructions> These tags wrap all sorts of interesting things that the spell checker doesn't like. I could wade my way through it all and make the spell checker "learn" or "skip" the stuff, but this is proving to be an arduous task at best.

So... my question... is it possible to configure the spell checker to simply ignore text between named tags like Pretty Print can be configed to skip named tags?

And my second (minor) queston... when I teach the spell checker a new dictionary word, where is this stored in Linux? and in Windows? I need to un-learn a few words :oops:

I would like to be able to do that too, tell it to not bother spell checking the content of <style> or <script> elements for example.
