| Description: | Generic spell-checking dictionary (1.4.2-2) | |
On the surface, Enchant appears to be a generic spell checking
library. You can request dictionaries from it, ask if a word is
correctly spelled, get corrections for a misspelled word, etc...
Beneath the surface, Enchant is a whole lot more - and less - than
that. You'll see that Enchant isn't really a spell checking library at
all.
"What's that?" you ask. Well, Enchant doesn't try to do any of the
work itself. It's lazy, and requires backends to do most of its dirty
work. Looking closer, you'll see the Enchant is more-or-less a fancy
wrapper around the dlopen() system call. Enchant steps in to provide
uniformity and conformity on top of these libraries, and implement
certain features that may be lacking in any individual provider
library. Everything should "just work" for any and every definition of
"just working." | ||
