[comp.emacs] Ispelling in emacs

rdong@klein.msri.org (Rui-Tao Dong ???) (02/05/91)

I have been using ispell in emacs for a while. It works great. However, I
have problem w/ detex. Like every mathematician, I use TeX a lot. I would
like to have emacs detex ( or delatex ) before it does ispell. I looked at
the LISP codes in ispell.el (although I don't know any LISP.) and replaced
"tr" by "detex". It works fine for TeX files, but causes trouble for
non-tex file.  Every time it encounters a "$", detex thinks it as the
beginning of a mathemtical formula and looks for the match "$" at the end,
which it can't find.

	My questions are: 

	a) Is there a newer version of ispell.el which fixes this problem?

	b) If not, can some LISP experts on the net hack ispell.el and fix
it. What I like to have is that when emacs is in TeX (or LaTeX) mode, it
will switch on detex. Otherwise, it will do ispell directly. I have seen a
LISP version of detex. I don't know if it's better than the unix detex.

Thank!
