drl@backup.UUCP (David R. Linn) (04/22/88)
I am not normally a reader of this list so I apologize in advance if
this is a {recently|often} discussed subject. I have discovered that
running (spell-buffer) on a buffer of TeX or LaTeX input produces ...
amusing ... results. This appears to be caused by the use of
deroff(1) by spell(1); deroff doesn't understand TeX and misinterprets
many TeX commands that have troff commands as initial substrings.
Does anyone have a fix for this behavior? Since I do not normally read
this list, reply directly.
Fun facts: GNU-EMACS 18.44 (upgrade to latest planned RSN) on a
network of SUNs mostly at 3.4.
Thanx,
