adding many dictionaries to aspell












-1














I have a tex document spanning several files that I want to check with aspell.
The command I use is:



cat $f | aspell list --extra-dicts="./names.spl" --mode=tex -l en |sort -u


for every file name f.



Some files that concern pronunciation have "words" like aj and oo inside them, which aspell counts as spelling mistakes. I want to filter them out without putting them into the names.spl dictionary. (first because they are not names, second because they shouldn't be ignored in other files)



the aspell documentation states that the "extra-dicts" argument can receive a list, but I can't seem to delimit it properly. I tried , : and plain spaces to no avail. They are either treated as a long file path or get entirely separated from the extra-dicts keywords.



I also tried to use the option twice, but the second time just overrides the first.



Am I missing something trivial about how lists are provided as command line arguments in the terminal?

  • Based on the documentation you linked to, it looks like it would be --add-extra-dicts="file1" --add-extra-dicts="file2" although the documentation for my version (0.60.7-20110707) also mentions a colon-delimited lset syntax, which I interpret as --lset-extra-dicts="file1":"file2"
