While it would be nicer if done through xml:lang, you can always make sure the whole buffer dict is correct by means of a right ispell-local-dictionary entry in a local variables section. <!-- Keep this comment at the end of the file Local variables: mode: sgml ispell-local-dictionary: "american" End: --> I suggest to use names that will be valid for both ispell and aspell, to make your documents as portable as possible. > and some of my files use mixed language > (English/French).

I see, [#185488] ispell: automatic dictionary selection for XML files (using xml:lang) FYI, I know of a lisp package that tries to do that for flyspell, flyspell-xml-multi.el, requiring ispell-multi.el. However, I never tried it. There has been recently some discussion about integrating ispell-multi.el functionality into ispell.el for future emacs23, along with flyspell-xml-multi.el and flyspell-babel.el as separate files. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-06/msg00840.html But the expected work to make that ispell-multi.el integration fully operative seems non-trivial, although general consensus is that it would be a good thing. I do not know how current flyspell-xml-multi.el and ispell-multi.el interact with current ispell.el and flyspell.el. However, you may want to give them a try. They are available from http://www.dur.ac.uk/p.j.heslin/Software/Emacs/ Hope this helps, -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
