ispanish for DEBIAN
----------------------
This package installs spanish.{aff,hash} and castellano.{aff,hash} as
symbolic links to espa~nol.{aff,hash}.
To use the spanish ispell dictionary you should invoke ispell as:
ispell -T <format> -d espa~nol <file>
or:
ispell -T <format> -d spanish <file>
or:
ispell -T <format> -d castellano <file>
where <format> should be one of:
<format> if the acute chars in <file> are coded as:
======== ==========================================
latin1 á é í ó ú ñ ü Á É Í Ó Ú Ñ Ü
TeX \'a \'e \'{\i} \'o \'u \~n \"u ...
plainTeX \'{a} \'{e} \'{\\i} \'{o} \'{u} \~{n} \"{u} ...
If no format is specified, latin1 will be used. Note that invoking the
dictionary with either espa~nol, spanish or castellano will result
in different personal dictionaries being used
(~/.ispell_{espa~nol,spanish,castellano})
I get error messages about illegal characters in my personal dictionary!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that as of woody the default format has been changed from tex
to latin1. If your personal dictionary still uses the obsolete tex
format you might get error messages like
Word 'acci'on' contains illegal characters
with another word in your personal dictionary (in tex format) instead
of acci'on. You need to recode your personal dictionary. Something
like
$ mv .ispell_castellano .ispell_castellano.obsolete
$ ispell -dcastellano -Ttex .ispell_castellano.obsolete
will allow you to insert from the menu the (updated) contents of the
personal dictionary, but in the new format.
If using sarge, instead of the second line you can also use:
$ ispell-wrapper --emacs=castellano .ispell_castellano.obsolete
You can also use the sed directives that are supplied with this package
docs
$ cat .ispell_castellano.obsolete | \
sed -f /usr/share/doc/ispanish/orig2latin1.sed > .ispell_castellano
