Somebody here was asking me to install TeXspell (sp?). My search turned
up a small shell script that invokes detex and ispell.
Never having used any spell-checkers before (hey, my spelling's perfect!),
I located what I guessed were appropriate sources (the detex in the
ktexmf-6.1 package) and, after a few minor alterations to make it like my
linux setup, got it to compile. I am unsure what to make of its output.
At least with the TeX setup that I have here, it appears to leave bits of
TeX in the output stream. Is this normal and unavoidable? Or, does it
have something to do with the particular files I used to test it:
testpage.tex and latexbug.tex from the latex2e mid-94 distribution?
Will the CTAN style directory layout (lots of sub-directories) rather
than the older everything-in-a-single-directory approach make any
difference to detex? From a quick scan of the source it looks like it
ignores \include and suchlike, but it would be nice to know for sure.
Having answered all that, does it matter which version of ispell I use
with TeXspell?
thanks in advance,
-jonathan
