How does hunspell deal with dots in wordlists?
Hi
I'm about to create a wordlist and am considering including
abbreviations in the wordlist. Before I do that I need to know how
hunspell deals with dots (.) in the wordlist. Are dots even allowed in
the wordlist for hunspell? If so, can I even write an abbreviation
like "O.K." with a dot after the final letter and have hunspell
correct "O.K" to "O.K."?
I tried this:
-------------------------
$ test.dic
1
O.K.
$ test.txt
O.K
O.K.
$ analyze test.aff test.dic test.txt
> O.K
Unknown word.
> O.K.
-------------------------
The "O.K" Turned up as an unknown word and the "O.K." (with dot in
end) didn't show anything at all. What does that mean?
If I change the OK in the dic file to "O.K" (without final dot)
everything is fine:
-------------------------
$ test.dic
1
O.K
$ analyze test.aff test.dic test.txt
> O.K
analyze(O.K) = st:O.K
stem(O.K) = O.K
> O.K.
analyze(O.K.) = st:O.K
analyze(O.K.) = st:O.K
stem(O.K.) = O.K
-------------------------
The problem here is that it doesn't correct "O.K" to "O.K." which is
what I want.
Thanks

Tj: Got it, I thought hunspell questions were ok to ask here since
I've seen some before.
David McKay: It was just an example to show what I wanted to do (which
is write any abbreviation with dots).
Thanks

I don't think that O.K. would be the correct form, usually it is written
OK on its own. The full stop after the O and the K would imply that the
O and the K are the first letters of words starting with O and K
respectively, but OK is actually shorthand for 'okay', which is a single
word. There is a theory that OK was originally an abbreviation of the
purposely misspelled (for comic effect) Oll Korrect. That might or might
not be true, but either way I believe the correct modern usage to be OK
with no full stops.

Although used by AOO, Hunspell is not an Apache product. Google is your
friend. --/tj/
