Hello
I would like to spell check my document from the command line. My .tex
document contains a macro (namely \write18 {cmd...}) that can run a
shell command when the document is being processed by LaTeX, and I would
like to invoke aspell in this way to ensure my document checks
successfully every time I compile it.
The problem is I have certain words that are correct and I would like
aspell to recognize (or ignore) them. These are either technical words
like runtime or acronims like XASL or people or product names.
So I would like to create an aditional word list with these specific
words, without installing it as a new dictionary in one of the known
aspell dictionaries or word list directories.
The
aspell --lang=en create master ./documentlist.multi <./list_file
command works pretty well and I can see the words in the list if I open
the ./documentlist.multi file with an editor (I use vim) directly.
The problem is how do use this file ?
If I try the simple command
aspell dump personal ./documentlist.multi
I get
Unhandled Error: The file "./documentlist.multi" is not in the proper
format.
Aborted (core dumped).
Any other way to use the generated file either crashes in the same way,
either does not make use of the file
For example the command
aspell --add-word-list-path=./ --add-extra-dicts=documentlist dump dicts
does not show the new word list.
The command
aspell --lang=en --personal=./documentlist.multi docfile.tex
Just outputs "The file ./documentlist.multi is not in the proper format".
If I try
aspell --add-word-list-path=./ --personal=documentlist check docfile.tex
than aspell starts up but does not use the words in my word list and
asks me to correct them when encountered in the document
Is this a bug ?
Is there a way to use aspell with an additional local dictionary ?
Also, what is the proper way to check a document non-interactively from
the command line ?
$ aspell --version
@<#> International Ispell Version 3.1.20 (but really Aspell 0.60.5)
Thank you,
Timothy Madden
