27 .SH ENCHANT ORDERING FILE
28 Enchant has a global and a per-user ordering file named \fIenchant.ordering\fR.
29 It lets the user specify which spelling backend to use for individual
30 languages in the case when you care which backend gets used. The global
31 file is located in \fI$(datadir)/enchant\fR and the per-user file is
32 located in \fI~/.enchant\fR.
33 The per-user file takes precedence, if found.
35 The ordering file takes the form language_tag:<comma-separated list of spelling
36 backends>. I am currently aware of the following backends: aspell, myspell, ispell, uspell, hspell, voikko, and zemberek. '*' is
37 used to mean "use this ordering for all languages, unless instructed otherwise." For example:
39 *:aspell,myspell,ispell
41 en:aspell,myspell,ispell
43 en_UK:myspell,aspell,ispell
45 fr:myspell,ispell:aspell
46 .SH DIRECTORIES IMPORTANT TO ENCHANT
47 Unless configured otherwise, Enchant's Myspell, Ispell, and Uspell
48 backends will look for dictionaries in directories specific to Enchant,
49 and will not use your system-wide installed dictionaries. This is for
50 pragmatic reasons since many distributions install these dictionaries
51 into different locations.
53 Like the \fIenchant.ordering\fR file described above, Enchant looks in
54 the global directory for these dictionaries and a per-user directory.
55 The per-user directory takes precedence if it is found.
56 Enchant looks for Myspell dictionaries in \fI$(datadir)/enchant/myspell\fR and \fI~/.enchant/myspell\fR.
57 Enchant looks for Ispell dictionaries in \fI$(datadir)/enchant/ispell\fR and \fI~/.enchant/ispell\fR.
58 Enchant looks for Uspell dictionaries in \fI$(datadir)/enchant/uspell\fR and \fI~/.enchant/uspell\fR.
60 Packagers and users may wish to make symbolic links to the system-wide dictionary directories. Or, preferably, use the --with-myspell-dir, --with-ispell-dir, and --with-uspell-dir 'configure' arguments.
