[Aspell-user] Words with hyphens

[Dutton, Sam]

I understand the problems of working with words that have hyphens or
other symbols (as in
http://aspell.sourceforge.net/man-html/Words-With-Symbols-in-Them.html#W
ords-With-Symbols-in-Them) but has anyone worked out a way around this?

We get lots of different spellings for Al-Qaeda, for example, but want
to use only one, via a replacement word list.

Any ideas? (I could replace hyphens with a rare string such as xxx, on
the way in and out of Aspell, so to speak, but this seems a bit  hacky
and error prone.)
