Description-en: spelling dictionaries - common utilities
This package provides utilities shared between all wordlists and spelling
dictionaries for Ispell, Aspell, or MySpell/Hunspell. It also includes
support infrastructure for software using them (such as JED and Mutt),
and some patched spell-checking Lisp files for better Emacs integration.
.
More information about the availability of these dictionaries and their
naming conventions is available in the README.Debian file.
