.
In Knoppix 7.2, Firefox and LibreOffice both use Hunspell spell-checking.
Examining Synaptics, my Knoppix uses a Hunspell-en-us dictionary, and a
Hunspell shared library, but does not use a stand-alone Hunspell program.
It is apparent that Firefox and LibreOffice in common access the Hunspell
shared library and a Hunspell dictionary. It turns out a lot of other
text-oriented software gets on this same bandwagon. See for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunspell
It turns out Leafpad isn't on that list. I wish it were.
I estimate the following resources might be useful to someone having
the necessary programming skills to put Leafpad and Hunspell in touch
with one another:
http://qt-project.org/wiki/Spell-Checking-with-Hunspell
http://sourceforge.net/projects/huns...Documentation/
I think this would make a nice improvement in the Knoppix suite of
programs.
Any Volunteers?
