\wxheading{Available image handlers}
The following image handlers are available. {\bf wxBMPHandler} is always
-installed by default. To use other image formats, install the appropiate
+installed by default. To use other image formats, install the appropriate
handler with \helpref{wxImage::AddHandler}{wximageaddhandler} or
\helpref{wxInitAllImageHandlers}{wxinitallimagehandlers}.
