Hi All, Aspell author here.
Aspell does not support what I think you are after very well. That is why it is not enabled by default in the English dictionary. For some insight on why see: http://aspell.net/man-html/Words-With-Symbols-in-Them.html
Changing the language data file should be able to force Aspell to accept them when compiling a dictionary but Aspell won't necessary be able to check them within a document.
Rather than modifying the data file, when compiling a dictionary you can force Aspell to accept any word by using the "--dont-validate-words" argument. To spellchecker with these special words you need to keep Aspell from trying to tokenize a string into words (i.e, "hello world!" gets split into "hello" and "world"). I think you need to use the C API for this.
I hope this all makes sense. Kevin. _______________________________________________ Aspell-user mailing list Aspell-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/aspell-user
