A new version of the ropensci
[hunspell](https://cran.r-project.org/package=hunspell) package has been
released to CRAN. Hunspell is the spell checker library used by
LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Mac OS-X,
InDesign, Opera, RStudio and many others. It provides a system for
tokenizing, stemming and spelling in almost any language or alphabet.
The R package exposes both the high-level spell-checker as well as
low-level stemmers and tokenizers which analyze or extract individual
words from various formats (text, html, xml, latex).

## New Vignette

This new version now includes a beautiful
[vignette](https://cloud.r-project.org/web/packages/hunspell/vignettes/intro.html)
which gives an overview of the main functionality to get you started! It
demonstrates the tokenizer, stemmer and spell-checker and has an example
how to use the stemmer and tokenizer to create a word cloud from a large
body of text.
