NAME

       Enchant - a spellchecker

SYNOPSIS

       enchant [-a] [-d dict] [-h] [-l] [-L] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       Enchant is an ispell-compatible spellchecker.

   OPTIONS
       -a     List suggestions in ispell pipe mode format.

       -d dict
	      Use dictionary <dict>.

       -h     Show short help.

       -l     List only the misspellings.

       -L     Include the line number in the output.

       -v     Prints the program's version.

ENCHANT ORDERING FILE

       Enchant has a global and a per-user ordering file named enchant.ordering.  It lets the user specify which spelling backend to use for indi-
       vidual languages in the case when you care which backend gets used. The global file is located in $(datadir)/enchant and the per-user  file
       is located in ~/.enchant.  The per-user file takes precedence, if found.

       The  ordering file takes the form language_tag:<comma-separated list of spelling backends>. I am currently aware of the following backends:
       aspell, myspell, ispell, uspell, hspell, voikko, and zemberek. '*' is used to mean "use this ordering for all languages, unless	instructed
       otherwise." For example:

       *:aspell,myspell,ispell
       en:aspell,myspell,ispell
       en_UK:myspell,aspell,ispell
       fr:myspell,ispell:aspell

DIRECTORIES IMPORTANT TO ENCHANT

       Unless  configured otherwise, Enchant's Myspell, Ispell, and Uspell backends will look for dictionaries in directories specific to Enchant,
       and will not use your system-wide installed dictionaries. This is for pragmatic reasons since many distributions install these dictionaries
       into different locations.

       Like the enchant.ordering file described above, Enchant looks in the global directory for these dictionaries and a per-user directory.  The
       per-user directory  takes  precedence  if  it  is  found.   Enchant  looks  for	Myspell  dictionaries  in  $(datadir)/enchant/myspell  and
       ~/.enchant/myspell.   Enchant  looks  for Ispell dictionaries in $(datadir)/enchant/ispell and ~/.enchant/ispell.  Enchant looks for Uspell
       dictionaries in $(datadir)/enchant/uspell and ~/.enchant/uspell.

       Packagers and users may wish to make symbolic links to the system-wide dictionary directories. Or, preferably, use the  --with-myspell-dir,
       --with-ispell-dir, and --with-uspell-dir 'configure' arguments.

			       spelling backend to use for individual languages in the case when you care  which backend  gets	used.  The  global
			       file  is  located  in  $(datadir)/enchant  and  the  per-user  file  is	located  in ~/.enchant.  The per-user file
			       takes precedence, if found.

			       The  ordering  file  takes  the	form   language_tag:. Currently it supports following backends:  aspell,  myspell,
			       ispell,	 uspell,  hspell.  The comma-separated list may not include spaces. '*' is used to mean "use this ordering

NOTES

       Unless configured otherwise, Enchant's Myspell, Ispell,	and Uspell  backends  will  look  for  dictionaries  in  directories  specific	to
       Enchant,   and	will   not  use  your  system-wide installed  dictionaries. This is for pragmatic reasons since many distributions install
       these dictionaries into different locations.

       Like the  enchant.ordering  file  described  above,  Enchant looks  in  the global directory for these dictionaries and a  per-user  direc-
       tory.   The per-user directory takes precedence if  it  is found.  Enchant looks for Myspell dictionaries in $(datadir)/enchant/myspell and
       ~/.enchant/myspell.   Enchant looks  for  Ispell dictionaries in $(datadir)/enchant/ispell and  ~/.enchant/ispell. Enchant looks for Uspell
       dic- tionaries  in $(datadir)/enchant/uspell and ~/.enchant/uspell.

       Packagers  and  users may wish to make symbolic links  to  the system-wide  dictionary directories. Or, preferably, use the --with-myspell-
       dir, --with-ispell-dir, and --with-uspell-dir 'configure' arguments.
