I was wondering if this could be implemented into Hunspell. Hunspell has no knowledge about formatting. The closest thing one could do in OpenOffice is to add an option not to check the words in italics. Something like the uppercase check that is available in Tools - Options - Language Settings - Writing Aids - Options. I have no idea of how hard it is (maybe OpenOffice strips formatting too before sending words to the spell checker!) but theoretically this could be investigated. More elegant, but more work, would be tag the word or passage as langen/lang or something like that, and then have AOO trigger behavior based on that language tagging, possible including formatting it as italics and ignoring it when spell checking, or using the appropriate secondary dictionary, if available. In other words, formatting and behavior comes from semantic tagging. That extra level of indirection can be very useful. It would allow, for example, a future extension to give hover translations of foreign expressions, etc. -Rob Of course, words in italics would then simply be ignored, not checked against a dedicated dictionary as you propose.
