Hello everyone.

The spell-check in Vim7 seems wonderful, several weeks ago I've been
challenged to do spellcheck for files which contain both English and
Chinese text. I failed to do that.

The problem is that if the spell-check turned on, ALL chinese text are
marked as spell error and it might be difficult to see where the real spell
error is.

Chinese text do not need spell check at all since all chinese characters
are valid words, we do want to check English text only. Note that the
target file may also be a C program and we may want to spell check the
comment.

One solution may be add all chinese characters into spell dictionary but
that seems to be crazy and the dictionary would be huge.

Is it possible to do spell-check only for ascii character and just ignore
the double-width character?

One solution, I think,  is to prepare the primitive syntaxfile
that matches all Chinese chars with a syntax highlight group
labeled with [EMAIL PROTECTED] Supposedly chinese chars
all have codes above 256 and english chars have codes below that,
or below z.

Problem is, pattern ranges in the form [m-n] are IIUC not applicable to range bounds above 0xFF; so e.g.

        syntax match CJK /[\u1100-\U2FA1F]/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]

contains an invalid range because the bounds are characters >255.

The help paragraph

        - If two characters in the sequence are separated by '-', this is
          shorthand for the full list of ASCII characters between them.  E.g.,
          "[0-9]" matches any decimal digit.

is not very clear, but notice the word ASCII. Recently I tried to make a search on a range within the Unicode CJK codepoint range and got an error "E16: Invalid range".


Best regards,
Tony.
