Actually I noticed some time ago that using single quotes inside a LyX document made for problems with spell check... For example if I typed this:
Bill said, "I asked her, and she said, 'No, I don't want to go.' So I went fishing by myself." Into a LyX document and ran the spell check function, It would suggest replacing "'No" with "No"... I just checked, and this still happens with LyX 1.6.5 on Arch Linux. I always thought this was a limitation of aspell. But I recently happened to use a similar construct in the text of an email which I spell checked from vim via my .vimrc key mappings: :map s :w^M:w! $spellfile^M:!aspell -e -c $spellfile^M :map S :w^MG:r $spellfile^Mkd1G (Where of course "^M" is actually a single character that simulates hitting enter) And it turns out that aspell itself doesn't seem to consider the ' character to be part of a word unless it's wrapped in letters on both sides such as in the contraction "it's"... Is there a reason why LyX's implementation of aspell chokes on ' characters used as single quotes??? -- | ~^~ ~^~ | <?> <?> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | \___/ <<[email protected]>>
