I'm not sure what effect en_US-w_accents has. I would appreciate enlightenment.
It contains the correctly accented version of the words. By default they are not included since it is generally considered acceptable to leave them off (especially in things like email).
Anyway, I thought it was a good idea. My aspell command included --extra-dicts=en_US-w_accents This didn't seem to have any effect.
Did you try checking cafe (with and without the accent, I can never remember how to type accents on my keyboard)
When I choose "a=add" from aspell's list of alternatives, add the word to ~/.aspell.temp. My aspell command included --personal=~/.aspell.temp This didn't seem to work. Use previously constructed word list as an additional source of correctly spelled words. My aspell command included --add-extra-dicts=~/.aspell.temp This didn't seem to work Total command (there were no line breaks in my command) aspell --master=en_US --extra-dicts=en_US-w_accents --personal=~/.aspell.temp --add-extra-dicts=~/.aspell.temp -t check chapter_3.tex
The add-extra-dicts in unnecessary and might even cause problems since you are listing the same dictionary twice.
System response: Error: The file "/opt/local/share/aspell/~/.aspell.temp" can not be opened for reading.
It looks like you shell is not expanding the "~", try "--personal ~/.aspell.temp" (ie with a space) _______________________________________________ Aspell-user mailing list Aspell-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-user
