How to use spell checking in lyx?
Hello lyx users: I wanted to use lyx spell checker for Hungarian language but I could not find out how to do it. I have lyx 2.0.0 compiled on my system. On my system hunspell-devel and aspell-devel files are also installed, and lyx took this into account at build. I can set "Spellchecker engine" in lyx preferences either to aspell or to hunspell. When aspell is selected in preferences: If I create a document and set its language to Hungarian in document settings, the spell checker does not use a Hungarian dictionary. If I press F7 the spell checker stop at the first Hungarian word and the language in the spell checker is set to English. How can I change the selected dictionary to Hungarian permanently? aspell-hu is installed. Hunspell does not work at all, the hunspell Hungarian dictionary might be missing. Thanks, bcsikos

Thanks for this very interesting review. Points (2) and (3), plus the lack of a remove feature for some engines, seem to be the sorts of things that comments upstream could fix. In addition, (3) could be worked around by LyX pretty easily (though such code is always best avoided), and both (2) and missing remove functionality seem not critical (just annoying). Could you please clarify what the purpose of 'ispersonal?' is at the LyX UI level? I'm guessing it's a feature to test whether a word came from a "standard" dictionary or from a "personal" dictionary, but I am unsure of whether this distinction is useful at all for LyX? >> There is some rumor on the net already to consolidate the spelling >> for the whole desktop. >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ConsolidateSpellingLibs >> I don't know how long it would last to get some result. This seems to be a move for pushing Ubuntu towards hunspell and enchant. hunspell is claimed to be the most modern implementation of a multilingual spell checking backend. However, its language support is not complete, so users of some languages still require support for other, specialised engines (Voikko for Finnish, Zemberek for Turkish, Uspell for Yiddish, Hebrew, and Eastern European languages, Hspell for Hebrew) which enchant can provide. Contrary to your prior email, it seems that enchant does work on OSX, since support for AppleSpell (Mac OSX) is claimed @ http://www.abisource.com/projects/enchant/ (Note: Ubuntu cites problems preventing the dropping of older implementations due to the lack of upstream hunspell or enchant support in some major software packages, such as PHP. GTKSpell and KDE use enchant already). >>>&g

Ok, AFAIU this refers to the XeLaTeX engine and not to LyX.
Of course, if someone wants to develop a solid algorithm for language
guessing and can convince the LyX developer community of it and has the
resources to implement and test it - it may happen. Another option
would be to have a spell checker backend including this feature.

I'll cite my own investigation about similarity between spell checking APIs.
The focus was the management of personal word lists.

(This is a bit more verbose than it should be, as I am presently stuck in

being winter the weather is bitter and I am therefore locked in my hotel
room with time, but no internet connection!)
Whilst using LyX 2.0beta1 [since verified on LyX 2.0beta3] I recently ran
a spell check for the first time.
The interface is good and no doubt an improvement on previous eras,
however
the following struck me as possible to improve.
Those items marked with "[*]" I consider a bug in LyX. Those items marked
with "[X]" I consider a bug elsewhere.
1. Preferences|Language Settings|Spellchecker [*]
--
Fields lack a description. Faced with having used non-US spelling
in my document ("for shame!"), I do not want to manually set hundreds
of individual words to be 'English (UK)', which using the inbuilt
right
sidebar interface appears to be the default way forward. (For some
reason, 'English (AU)' is not even an option on my system, though
that's
probably my fault.)
Thus driven to the preferences dialog, I was unsure of which mystical
value to enter in to the great LyX machine. Assuming 'man aspell'
would
clear it up, indeed some text was located that made the expected
format
for the entry of a single language value probable:
"It follows the same format of the LANG environmental variable on
most systems. It consists of the two letter ISO 639 language code
and
an optional two letter ISO 3166 country code after a dash or
underscore."
I tried this ("en_AU"), and it did work. However, there are two
problems:
- Even the first step would be a challenge for some users
- I would like to add multiple values to the field, since otherwise
even
at this early stage of my document still hundreds of words and
place
names in French, German, Greek (+romanised Greek), Chinese
(+romanised
Chinese), etc. trip up the spell checker. (Use of these languages
is frequent and scattered right throughout the document.)
The method to do this (eg: separate multiple values with a space or
comma),
or indeed whether entering multiple values in to this field is at all
possible remains unclear.
Whilst the ideal route would be to add (relatively) complex
integration
code that auto-detected available spellcheckers, their dictionaries,
and provided a sexy GUI for end user language selection instead of a
mystical text field, I realise this is not going to happen overnight
or
perhaps ever.
Thus, as a relatively easy half-way fix, could we please have some
increased on-screen documentation? Something like "eg: 'en_GB' for
aspell." may suffice for 95% of users.
2. Right click to set spellchecker language on a highlighted word fails
[*]
It appears that when 'Tools|Preferences|Language
Settings|Spellchecker|
Spellcheck continuously' is set, and red-wavy (Note: LyX 2.0.0beta1
was
wavy, LyX 2.0.0beta3 is straight and thicker) underlined words are
right

3. Wider problem of spellchecking and multilingual support

Regarding points 1 and 2, really there is a wider problem of
multilingual
support being a little 'all over the place', with a bunch of different
"solutions" in use. In terms of LyX, none of these are really
"solutions"
as even with LyX 2.0beta1 it appears to be demonstrably impossible to
link
the manual language markup made in conjunction with a font-linked
solution
to the manual language markup required for spellchecking purposes.

On the contrary, dear fellow: the opposite has already come to pass!

"So that fonts are *autoselected* based on UNICODE range unless
otherwise overridden."
But alas, the user is still utterly laboured with tedious repetition
of language specification (also text style selection, with the hack i
use), and will remain so until LyX UI changes.

This sounds ugly. Is there any similarity between spell checking APIs? Is
there a cross platform, spell checking library unification / abstraction layer
available? Would it be worth developing one? How difficult is it to detect
known dictionaries and spell checkers on a cross-platform basis?

Subject: LyX 2.0beta3: Spell Checking + Multilingualism
(Note: Mostly this email dates from pre-Christmas December - took me awhile
to post!)
(This is a bit more verbose than it should be, as I am presently stuck in
an historic colonial hill station of Tunisia, by the Algerian border, and
being winter the weather is bitter and I am therefore locked in my hotel
room with time, but no internet connection!)
Whilst using LyX 2.0beta1 [since verified on LyX 2.0beta3] I recently ran
a spell check for the first time.
The interface is good and no doubt an improvement on previous eras, however
the following struck me as possible to improve.
Those items marked with "[*]" I consider a bug in LyX. Those items marked
with "[X]" I consider a bug elsewhere.
1. Preferences|Language Settings|Spellchecker [*]
--
Fields lack a description. Faced with having used non-US spelling
in my document ("for shame!"), I do not want to manually set hundreds
of individual words to be 'English (UK)', which using the inbuilt right
sidebar interface appears to be the default way forward. (For some
reason, 'English (AU)' is not even an option on my system, though that's
probably my fault.)
Thus driven to the preferences dialog, I was unsure of which mystical
value to enter in to the great LyX machine. Assuming 'man aspell' would
clear it up, indeed some text was located that made the expected format
for the entry of a single language value probable:
"It follows the same format of the LANG environmental variable on
most systems. It consists of the two letter ISO 639 language code and
an optional two letter ISO 3166 country code after a dash or underscore."
I tried this ("en_AU"), and it did work. However, there are two problems:
- Even the first step would be a challenge for some users
- I would like to add multiple values to the field, since otherwise even
at this early stage of my document still hundreds of words and place
names in French, German, Greek (+romanised Greek), Chinese (+romanised
Chinese), etc. trip up the spell checker. (Use of these languages
is frequent and scattered right throughout the document.)
The method to do this (eg: separate multiple values with a space or comma),
or indeed whether entering multiple values in to this field is at all
possible remains unclear.
Whilst the ideal route would be to add (relatively) complex integration
code that auto-detected available spellcheckers, their dictionaries,
and provided a sexy GUI for end user language selection instead of a
mystical text field, I realise this is not going to happen overnight or
perhaps ever.
Thus, as a relatively easy half-way fix, could we please have some
increased on-screen documentation? Something like "eg: 'en_GB' for
aspell." may suffice for 95% of users.
2. Right click to set spellchecker language on a highlighted word fails [*]
It appears that when 'Tools|Preferences|Language Settings|Spellchecker|
Spellcheck continuously' is set, and red-wavy (Note: LyX 2.0.0beta1 was
wavy, LyX 2.0.0beta3 is straight and thicker) underlined words are right
clicked, there is an option to set their language for spellchecking
purposes. However, this does not appear to actually do anything!
This makes it necessary for the user to select the word then use 'Edit|
Language|Whatever language' to actually perform the change - pointless
tedium.

the manual language markup made in conjunction with a font-linked solution
to the manual language markup required for spellchecking purposes.
The TeX-world's colourful background to all this is understandable, and of
course I would not suggest to fly in the face of either configurability
nor tradition nor the existing user base's preferences, however to my mind
it would be expedient for ease of use (especially for new users with
little TeX background, who - let's face it - represent the largest
possible and probable future user base) if LyX would 'encourage' people
to an 'intelligent' default solution instead of leaving them high and dry
with a "there's 1000 ways to do it but we're not really going to hint at
any of them" situation, as we see at present. Now, I see the adoption
of XeTeX-specific checkboxes in LyX 2.0beta1 as a *great* step forward
in this direction, but "there's a ways to go yet".
As per previous posts whereby I suggested revising
Spell checking stopped working
Hello, The spell-check (aspell-library) in my LyX installation stopped working: if I hit F7 (or click on the icon), just a status message "(dialog-show spellchecker: F7)" is shown, but nothing happens. I am not sure, whether it is a bug, since I tried it before a few times, and it was working; however I do not remember changing any settings either. Did anyone already experience this problem? Regards, Andras P.S.: details: Using LyX v. 1.6.4 on OpenSUSE 11.2 Language: English Other spelling engines: ispell, aspell, hspell, aspell (library). aspell yields the same result, hspell executable is not installed as far as I know, and with ispell I get the error: "The spellchecker could not be started ispell: unrecognized formatter type 'latin9'" Spelling in other programs (OpenOffice, KMail, Firefox) is working fine.

Spell Checking under Mac OS
Hello everyone, I've got a problem with LyX spellchecking under mac os x, it seems it isn't able to save new words to the dictionary when I click "Add" in the UI. I'm talking about LyX version 1.6.5, with aspell 0.60.6 (installed through homebrew). I've read on the internet about this problem and someone suggests to make modifications to the aspell.conf file int /usr/local/etc, but I don't have that file and can't manage to find a default online. I've also found that aspell created a personal dictionary for the words I added in ~/.aspell.it.pws (I've opened it with a text editor and it contains exactly what I added), but that doesn't seem to affect spell checking inside LyX: it keeps on asking for the same words. What can I do? Thanks a lot, Gabriele Genta

At present, It lacks 237 euros to be accepted by Abdelrazak Younes First of all, I know it might be obvious but I would like to know whether this feature is going to work on all platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac. I suppose the answer is positive... Rigth. Everything's cross platform. Secondly, I read the roadmap about Lyx 2 and there is an interesting improvement related to the spell checking. More precisely, I noticed Jurgen Spitzmüller has introduced support for the MyThes thesaurus library which is what OpenOffice uses. The link is: http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/NewInLyX20 I am wondering if this will apply to the continuous spell checking feature. In short, the dictionaries are going to be the same? I am interested mainly in the Italian dictionary because I know all thesaurus for Italian are really good in OpenOffice. As Jürgen said, this is about the spellchecker, not the Thesaurus. Now, if you talk about the MySpell/Hunspell engine used in OpenOffice, that is a different project, entirely. But, ideally, the inline spellchecking capabilities will be programmed in spellchecker agnostic way. At least that's how I am going to implement it. Thirdly, I would like to know whether this extension could damage the Lyx performances. If this happens, needless to say, It could be disabled by default... In many softwares as OpenOffice using the spell checker on windows xp I have never noticed any problem... Nevertheless Lyx is a very different software... My preliminar test don't indicate any performance penalties. The feature will not be mandatory of course. One will be able to disable it. To sum up, is there a date regarding the availability of this feature (provided the 1000 euro are reached soon)? I am aware it is a really early to ask about the Lyx 2 version but I am wondering if you developers have a rough idea regarding its release date. Maybe after summer 2009? I looked for in the roadmap section but I didn't find anything. If it is like 1.5 and 1.6, 2.0 will probably appear after the summer, probably at the end of the year. But nothing is sure of course.

Re: Spell checking
OK, I can see that there is an answer to my question on the LyX wiki. Didn't realize that before asking here.
Spell checking
I badly need spell checking for my typing. LyX relies on aspell, which I don't have. I went to the aspell web page and downloaded, but I find no installation instructions. I'm lost. I use LyX on a Mac, and it seems aspell is some kind of unix thing. I can see that cocoAspell is a Mac version of aspell. If I install that, will it also work from LyX? Thanks.

exclude some word from spell-checking
Dear LyX users, my thesis contains many words that are not part of the standard language and hence not in the ispell wordlist. I know, I can insert them in my personal dictionary, but there are cases that are only right in a specific context like file name or "Eulersche" in Eulersche Winkel. I would like to exclude them from the spell-check so I do not have to choose "Ignore" again and again as I have to re-check the document after changes. Changing the language to some different value came into my mind but * what language would be a wise choice, * is this a wise approach at all, * are there better ways? I also wonder whether it is better to have spell-checking in comments and notes or not: * Sometimes the notes contain text that is temporarily stored away, * sometimes they contain abbreviations, file-names, tags and other non-orthographic strings. Personally, I'd favour exclusion of Notes. Guenter
spell-checking in French with LyX 1.5.1
There seems to be a problem with spell-checking in French in LyX 1.5.1. Apparently, the spell checker does not recognize accented characters. More precisely, words with accented letters are systematically declared as erroneous. I don't have this problem with LyX 1.4.5.1 I'm working with MacOS X Gilles Horowitz

Hi I have read that it's possible to spell check a multiple language, but the statement that it is possible have never been accompanied by a guide on to how to do it, so this is what I ask now. Regards Andreas P.S. I use Lyx in Windows with Aspell as the spell checker. C:\Aspell. Aspell has a mailing list and a manual. I found an entry, under extra-dicts, which I thought would work for English/French. But IIRC, that only worked for Linux. So I created a Master dict. using text word lists from both languages which had shortcomings. There is a new version available for Windows, .60, not easy to get which maybe has gooten to implementing extra-dicts for Windows. Kevin Atkinson is the guru of the Aspell-user mailing list. I read: "Aspell doesn't have a per document dictionary mainly because there is no real good way to store them and also because it will add more complexity to the user interface. However, if you wish you can have a per-document personal dictionary and also use your normal personal dictionary by doing the following: > > aspell --add-extra-dicts=~/.aspell.english.pws --personal= > ... Bingo, that's what I needed. I was really thinking of this for use with LyX, and if there's some standard way to add extra dictionaries on the command line, then the LyX crew can work out the other bit of the problem." SH: But that was in 2001. Perhaps the French or German LyX users have figured out multiple dicts by now. I am curious too. Regards, Stephen

Hi I am running lyx 1.3.4 on the mepis distribution. The problem is that invoking the spellcheck gives the message "Lyx failed to start ispell" This is confusing as I have selected aspell in the preferences menu and have also reconfigured and restarted Lyx. Appreciate any advice on where I could have erred. best regards samar

There are two attempts to make TeX behave with UTF-8 (aside from Omega,
which IMHO still not fully mature):
- LaTeX3 development team created support for UTF-8 for inputenc,
- Petr Ol\v{s}\'ak (yes, he is my fellow Czech) extended his encTeX to
UTF-8 (i.e., it is support for UTF-8 on the level of input/output
processor of TeX, so everything works as it should). His webpage is
petr.olsak.net/enctex.html (previous version -- w/o UTF-8 -- was
described in his article for Tugboat, which should be available on
www.tex.org and if I am not mistaken also on
ftp://math.feld.cvut.cz/pub/olsak/enctex/encdoc.pdf).
However, both of these attempts are very bleeding edge of development.
encTeX should be part of the next web2c (promise made in February and
AFAIK there is still not new release), and I am not quite sure whether
UTF-8 support for inputenc made it to new LaTeX yet. So I am afraid, we
cannot much rely on it.
Have a nice day,
Matej

insetlatexaccent is used to represent accents the latex way. The
primary use is for example to introduce latin2 characters in a latin1
text. There is some magic to do that in the cdef files, but I am not
sure what it does exactly.
Normally, LyX is not supposed to use insetlatexaccent when the
character exists in current font.
Another thing: following some improvements from Lars, insetlatexaccent
is broken is the display font does not contain raw accents (i.e. it is
broken is base font is either latin2 or latin9).
I think that nobody tried to touch this because the right solution is
actually unicode.

(This is the path in QT version, should be fairly similar in xforms) You need to use correct encoding though. This is really strange: So far LyX worked at least somehow for spellchecking Czech texts (encoding Latin2), but when I try to spell attached Czech text (which is beginning of very famous poem), I got this very strange dialog box (see attached screenshot -- ``večer'' means ``evening'' and it is perfectly correct spelling). So far in the previous versions I need not to set document encoding in Layout/Document/Language/Spellchecking -- but even when I set it up, it works same badly.

I'm not sure it's actually a LyX true bug, but more of a subtle confusion. In
Lyx, it's possible to have accented characters be generated as Latex sequences
(\'{e}) or as directly accented letters (é). I've seen the problem
mentioned by the OP if I use the first option, but if I use accented letters
directly, it goes away.
I can't quite recall what I did to make sure I got é instead of \'{e} in the
.tex sources, though. It was long ago, and whatever preference I set seems to
have survived from my 0.10 install through today.
The nice thing about this is that it also makes the resulting .tex sources
much nicer to read.

Nazdar Ondro,
for me the Czech spellchecking works like a charm (attached
document is spelled without ispell complaining). Check the
attached file ~/.lyx/lyxrc for setting up the Czech behavior.

spell-checking czech documents
Hi, I'm using LyX version 1.2.1. If I run the spell-checker on a czech document it doesn't understand words with certain czech characters (ie. ). I thought this problem can be solved by "Use input encoding" switch but the czech dictionary doesn't support "-T latin2" option. The strange thing is that if I check for example the word "vyuít" using the command echo "vyuít" | ispell -d czech -l It's correct. But LyX seems to check it as two different words: "vyu" and "ít". LyX apparently treats "" as a non-word character. Any solutions? Regards --ondra
