Thanks, I will check it out. > > Did you contact upstream (Joan Moratinos) about this or tried some of > > softcatala resources (forums, ...)? > > Do you know of any news about this at upstream side? Yes. I sent a couple of mails to them and they said they were aware of the problem and that they are working on it but don't expect a fix anytime soon. The thing is there is no simple solution because each spellchecking library/program uses its own algorithms to split words, so the problem has to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. I suggested that they include a WORDCHARS field in their dictionary, along with other improvements, but never got a reply. That was about 5-6 months ago. It didn't look like they are very receptive to suggestions from "outsiders", that is my impression. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I had forgot all about it!
