Strange, that is working here with the sample file I copied. Furthermore,
directly modifying ispell-dictionary-alist also works, as long as you do not
reload ispell.el,
; -------------------------------
(setq ispell-dictionary-alist
(append ispell-dictionary-alist
'(("british+accs" ; British version
"[A-ZÑÔa-zñô]"
"[^A-ZÑÔa-zñô]"
"[']"
nil
("-B" "-d" "british-w_accents")
nil
iso-8859-1))))
; --------------------------------
* Blind guess: Was the original code filed as latin1 or utf8?
Try with the octal codes (I hope they are not messed), that is how the
example is expected to go in the new README.emacs file.
; --------------------
(debian-ispell-add-dictionary-entry
'("british+accs"
"[A-Z\321\324a-z\361\364]"
"[^A-Z\321\324a-z\361\364]"
"[']"
nil
("-B" "-d" "british-w_accents")
nil
iso-8859-1)
"aspell")
; --------------------
After Easter I will take a look at the ispell-local-dictionary-alist stuff,
to see how to make it work as expected.
Thanks for your feedback,
Cheers,
