Package: ispell
Version: 3.4.00-6+b1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/ispell
The ispell man page under -a mode says
A line starting with '+', followed immediately by tex or nroff will
cause ispell to parse future input according the syntax of that
formatter.
But this doesn't work for me. For example,
ispell -a
then entering to it
+nroff
\nosuchword
prints a blank line, where I expected in nroff mode the "nosuchword"
would be reported wrong (and it is if +nroff never entered).
It seems any + sets tex mode, where \nosuchword is reckoned a macro name
and so skipped. I know + alone is supposed to do this, but understand
the docs to mean +nroff etc set the named mode.
Nosing around the sources, at correct.c askmode() case '+', some printfs
suggest filteredbuf includes a final '\n' and consequently the various
strcmp() do not match. I got some joy adding \n into the strcmps.
