Thanks for the info, I found this thing when examining how flyspell-large-region works, piping the file to ispell -l +opts with no explicit deformatting options. I used the spanish tex FAQ (a large sgml file) for this and results did show those stripped strings. The "-o" ispell 3.3 option should take care of this, thanks. David, I think we can leave this bug open until ispell 3.3 is packaged for Debian and uploaded. Fortunately none of my dicts will be affected by this change (all use ispell-autobuildhash). Feel free to retitle and/or to adjust severity to minor or wishlist. Cheers, -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
