Re: gspell.el - german spell and grammar checking

[Richard Stallman]

    Well simply because gspell.el let the user mark the boundary of the 
    parts of a compound word. It so needs user interaction.
    This is also the reason why it  so far  only work  for TeX documents 
    where you can put hyphenation marks, that are not printed
    unless the word needs hyphenation.

I did not realize that.

Once you insert those discretionary hyphens,
won't all spell checkers treat the subwords
as separate words?
