I doubt the spell-checking elisp package has anything to do with whether that Emacs supports bidi or not, so I suggest you start with any-old-Emacs- that you already have installed. I tried myself to make hspell work with ordinary Emacs (XEmacs is my favorite variant, actually), because I promised Richard Stallman I'd do that, but I couldn't get it to work; "ispell.il" runs "ispell -a" to do the actual spell- checking, and it can be easily pursuaded to run "hspell -a" instead. However, there was something in hspell's replies that it didn't like, which is quite understandable, because hspell -a's output doesn't exactly conform with what it should have been (it's the minimum needed to get LyX to work with it). So supporting hspell in Emacs would probably entail finding what bothers Emacs in hspell's output, and fixing it in hspell (the latter is probably simple, as hspell.pl is a relatively simple perl script). Muli, if you try doing this and run into any problems, feel free to ask me or Dan for help. -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Mar 11 2003, 7 Adar II 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Strike not only while the iron is hot, http://nadav.harel.org.il |make the iron hot by striking it. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
