This guide is valid for the application versions before release v5.29.0.
1. Stop AppServer as described here: Main AppServer Commands#stopAppServerWindowsLinux2.StopAppServer
2. Create a plain textual file, e.g. 'grammar_ignore.txt' and place it in the AppServer/UserDictionaries directory.
The path to UserDictionaries directory can vary depending on the environment and if the custom path was chosen during the installation. For example, for the default WProofreader installation on Docker it is /dictionaries/UserDictionaries. In order to check a correct path to the directory where all created personal user dictionaries are stored on your side, open your AppServerX.xml file, which by default is located in: <WebSpellChecker_Installation_Path>/WSC/AppServer/AppServerX.xml, and verify the value of the UserDictDir tag.
3. List the grammar rules IDs separated by commas that you would like to be ignored. For example, WHITESPACE_RULE is a rule responsible for catching two or more whitespaces.
WHITESPACE_RULE,
If you have a single rule added to the list of the ignored rules, it is recommended to put a comma after the rule ID. This is needed to make sure no other invisible characters (new lines, spaces, etc.) affect the mechanism.
4. Now go and open the AppServer/AppServerX.xml file for editing.
5. Navigate to and uncomment GrammarIgnoreDictFile tag in the AppServerX.xml file. Specify the name of the file with the rules to be ignored (e.g. 'grammar_ignore.txt') inside the tag.
6. Start AppServer as described here: Main AppServer Commands#startAppServerWindowsLinux1.StartAppServer
