Package: ispell Version: 3.1.20.0-4 Severity: normal Hi, David and Geoff
I have noticed a strange ispell behavior when strings starting by \sp are in the text, like in \spanish or \special, $ cat test.txt \special \spanish $ cat test.txt | ispell -l -d american ecial anish The same happens for $ ispell -d american test.txt On the contrary, aspell does the expected thing, $ cat test.txt | aspell list -d american spanish Other backslashed words seem to have no problem. This behavior is usually masked by the tex deformatter when file extension is .tex, but gives strange results when is not or when file is piped for use of the -l option, like in flyspell-large-region. I tested this originally in our rather old ispell (3.1.20). But the same problem is present in 3.3.01, $ ./test.sh #!/bin/sh -v WORDS="\special \spanish \exdfre" ./ispell -v | head -1 @(#) International Ispell Version 3.3.01 1 May 2005 echo $WORDS \special \spanish \exdfre echo $WORDS | ./ispell -l -d ./american ecial anish exdfre so I am (X-Debbugs-)cc'ing upstream for this.
