Re: 24.2.1: ispell: use of local ispell-personal-dictionary

[Michael Heerdegen]

Hi Akim,

your file local variable `ispell-personal-dictionary' is bound to the
string "../en.dict" when you open your file.  Note that no expansion of
the ".." takes place.  Whether this string later is interpreted as
intended or not is just luck...

It is better to bind the variable to an expanded filename.  This can be
done using `eval':

%%% eval: (set (make-local-variable 'ispell-personal-dictionary) 
(expand-file-name "../en.dict"))


BTW, also consider using a directory local variable for this.


Regards,

Michael.
