What mechanisms does ODF have to indicate that a sequence of word
characters constitutes a word?
Having such a mechanism is useful for spell-checking Thai and other
languages where the boundaries between words are not marked. At
present, one can cancel spurious boundaries by inserting U+2060 WORD

One way of producing a spelling dictionary is to take the words from
a near-normal dictionary and use them. Does publishing such a
dictionary require the permission of the dictionary's copyright

Using vanilla Version: 4.3.3.2, Build ID:

How do I add a language to this menu so that fonts that can will render
text in the style appropriate to the language? I am reconciled to
having to create a bespoke version of LibreOffice, though I'd rather
not.
Manually editing a document's XML files would be the last
resort - it seems to work!

It's a vast improvement - it gives LibreOffice a real Thai
spell-checker. Thank you

Ah well, I'll just have to try to get Thai spell-checking working for

As I understand it, the lack of a usable Thai spell-checker for
LibreOffice (unlike, say, a Khmer spell-checker) is due to the Thai
break iterator. (I had expected Thai and Khmer to face similar
problems, for neither has a visible word separator and syllable
boundaries are often unclear in both.)
