+ | ==== Enabling Spell Checking ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | After HunSpell is installed, other steps must be followed on the Mystic side to enable spell checking: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Mystic' | ||
+ | |||
+ | These files determine the " | ||
+ | |||
+ | At a minimum, those files need to exist for the spell checker to operate. | ||
+ | and .aff file into your DATA directory. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you want to locate additional dictionaries, | ||
+ | |||
+ | http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Remember, you only need a .dic and a .aff for the language and dialect you want to use, and only the .dic file for any secondary languages you may wish to use. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Once you have the .dic and .aff file of the primary language you want, then copy them into the DATA directory as " | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are some additional optional things to know about as well. You probably want to copy the wordlist.txt included in the package into your DATA directory: | ||
+ | |||
+ | === WORDLIST.TXT === | ||
+ | |||
+ | This file can exist in the DATA directory and it can contain words that will be added into the dictionary regardless of what dictionaries are being used. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This file is helpful to prevent common BBS related acronyms and the sort of words that would not normally be found in an official dictionary, and the package includes a WORDLIST.TXT already for you with some common terms. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Blank lines are skipped and any line that begins with a semi-colon (;) will also be ignored, so that comments can be made in the file if desired. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === DICTLIST.TXT === | ||
+ | |||
+ | This optional file contains a list of secondary .dic files that will be loaded after the primary language. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In this file, blank lines are ignored as well as any line which begins with a semi-colon (;). If just a filename (ie french.dic) is referenced, Mystic will look in the DATA directory for the file, but a full directory name can be included here as well. The " | ||
+ | |||
+ | french.dic | ||
+ | @ROOT@data\french.dic | ||
+ | c: | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the above examples, all three of those lines will point to the same location in the DATA directory. | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTE: Some versions of Hunspell do not allow multiple dictionaries to be used and when Mystic encounters this situation, only the primary dictionary will be loaded. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Message Editor Template Options ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | By default, nothing needs to be done with the default message editor template (msg_editor.ini), | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Suggestion Delay === | ||
+ | |||
+ | By default this is set to true, which causes Mystic to wait until the user does not type for around a half of a second before it will try to auto suggest words. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== TROUBLESHOOTING ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the spell checker does not show as enabled while editing a message, then read the node's log file for any Hunspell related error messages, and also validate that the dictionary.aff and dictionary.dic files exist in the data folder. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Make sure you are using the proper " | ||
