ASPELL !!!ASPELL NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS CONFIGURATION SEE ALSO AUTHOR ---- !!NAME aspell - An interactive spell checker !!SYNOPSIS __aspell__ ''[[options] '' !!DESCRIPTION This manual page documents briefly the __aspell__ interactive spell checker. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in HTML and text formats; see below. __aspell__ is a utility that can function as a 'ispell -a' replacement, as an independent spell checker, as a test utility to test out Aspell features and as a utility for managing dictionaries. !!OPTIONS __check __ to check a file __pipe__ 'ispell -a' compatible mode __config__ dump the current configuration to stdout __filter__ passes standard input through the same set of filters that would be used to spell check a document __help__ print online help __version__ print version number and exit __dump|create|merge master|personal|repl [[word list]__ dump, creates or merges a master, personal or replacement word list [[options] is one of: __--conf=__ main configuration file __--conf-dir=__ directory containing the main configuration file __--data-dir=__ directory containing the language data files __--dict-dir=__ directory containing the main word list __--add|rem-filter=__ add or remove a filter __--home-dir=__ directory containing personal configuration files __-W,--ignore=__ where n is an integer. Ignore words less than or equal to n characters __--[[dont-]ignore-case__ ignore case when checking words __--[[dont-]ignore-repl__ ignore commands to store replacement pairs __--lang=__ default language to use __-d, --master=__ main word list base name __--mode=__ set filter mode to str. Where str is one of - none, url, email, sgml, tex __-e, --mode=email__ enter email mode __-H, --mode=sgml__ enter html/sgml mode __-t, --mode=tex__ enter TEX mode __--per-conf=__ personal configuration file __--personal=__ personal word list file __--repl=__ replacements list file name __--sug-mode=__ suggestion mode. Where mode is one of - fast, normal, bad-spellers Plus options to modify the behavior of the various filter: __--add|rem-email-quote=__ email quote characters __--email-margin=__ number of characters that can appear before the quote character __--add|rem-sgml-check=__ add or remove SGML tags to always check __--add|rem-sgml-extension=__ add or remove SGML file extensions __--add|rem-tex-command=__ add or remove TEX commands __--add|rem-tex-check-comments=__ check TEX comments In addition, there are some aspell utility specific options: __-b,--backup__ create a backup file by appending .bak to the file name. (Only applies when the command is check) __-x, --dont-backup__ dont create backup file __--[[dont-]time__ [[dont] time load time and suggest time in pipe mode __--[[dont-]reverse__ [[dont] reverse the order of the suggestions list In addition aspell will try to make sense out of ispell's command line options so that it can function as a drop in replacement for ispell. If aspell is run without any command line options it will display a brief help screen and quit. !!CONFIGURATION aspell can also make use of a global or user configuration file. Each line of the configuration file has the format: ____ where __lang german__ Anything after a '#' on a line is ignored. Use 'aspell dump config' to find out how your installation of aspell is configured. The environment variable ASPELL_CONF may also be used and it overrides any option set in the config file. The format of the string is exactly the same as the configuration file except that semicolons (';') are used as delimiters instead if newlines. The global configuration file for aspell is ''/etc/aspell.conf'' and the per user configuration file is ''~/.aspell.conf'' !!SEE ALSO run-with-aspell(1), word-list-compress(1). aspell is fully documented in the aspell-doc package. Install that package and see ''/usr/share/doc/aspell-doc/man-html'' and ''/usr/share/doc/aspell-doc/man-text''. !!AUTHOR This manual page was written by Sudhakar Chandrasekharan ----
