Hello!
I have a problem concerning aspell 0.60.5 in combinition with dansk
dictionary aspell-da-0.50.1-0.tar.bz2
Aspell gives two lines beginning with a "question mark" ? character as
result. The programm which is trying to interpret the result fails with
exception. I read the aspell developers documentation and got to know,
that the result lines should start with *, & or #.
I'm sorry. The documentation is out of date. The behavior of "aspell -a"
tried to match Ispell as close as possible and that the "?" comes from
Ispell. From the Ispell documentation:
...
If there are no near misses at all, the line format is the same, except
that the '&' is replaced by '?' (and the near-miss count is always zero).
The suggested derivations following the near misses are in the form:
[prefix+] root [-prefix] [-suffix] [+suffix]
(e.g., "re+fry-y+ies" to get "refries") where each optional pfx and sfx is
a string. Also, each near miss or guess is capitalized the same as the
input word unless such capitalization is illegal; in the latter case each
near miss is capitalized correctly according to the dictionary. Finally,
if the word does not appear in the dictionary, and there are no near
misses, then the line contains a '#', a space, the misspelled word, a
space, and the character offset from the beginning of the line. ...
