   Most people `detex', then spell.  Then they have two documents, one
   with correct spellings, and one with the TeX commands.  Neither is
   really what they want.

Why not just use the '-t' option to ispell (if you use ispell)?  Not
perfect, but pretty good:

     The -t option selects TeX/LaTeX input mode.  In this mode,
     whenever a backslash ("\") is found, ispell will skip to the
     next whitespace.  Thus, for example, given
          \chapter {This is a Ckapter} \cite{SCH86}
     will find "Ckapter" but will not look for SCH.  The -t
     option does not recognize the TeX comment character "%".
