* Method 1) ``Recompile'' your own English dictionary and then replace XXE_install_dir/add/spell/en.dar by your customized version. This is possible by using our dictionary builder: See http://www.xmlmind.com/spellchecker/dictbuilder.shtml Note that you'll have to properly declare U+2019 in the hints file before recompiling your English dictionary. See http://www.xmlmind.com/spellchecker/_distrib/dictbuilder/index.html * Method 2) Bind typed character "'" (ASCII apostrophe) to a command which inserts a U+2019 when the caret is preceded by "can", "you" and "don", "aren", "isn", etc. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/binding.html See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/command2.html#d0e2844 * Method 3) Write a documentHook which does this replacement each time the document is saved. See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/documenthook.html
