It took me a bit of hunting and twiddling to figure out exactly how to use aspell with a custom dictionary that supplements (not replaces) the master dictionary, so I thought I’d document it for posterity.<\/p>\n
And that's it for the checking part. The only latex specific piece is the \"-t\" option which tells aspell to filter out latex nonsense. If you remove it, then you can use this recipe with a more generic text document.<\/p>\n To create my initial word list I did this:<\/p>\n This command just creates a list of unrecognized words from the document, and ensures that the are sorted and unique. After I created it I went through and carefully edited the word result. Enjoy.<\/p>\n <\/code><\/p>\n
\n aspell --lang en create master .\/custom_dict.aspell < .\/custom_word_list.txt\n aspell --add-extra-dicts=.\/custom_dict.aspell -t -c my_document.tex\n<\/code><\/p>\n
\naspell -t list -a < my_document.tex | sort -u > .\/custom_word_list.txt
