| Jan 25, 2013 at 18:16 | comment | added | Joseph Wright Mod | @alexis Questions having another place to go is not really meant to affect whether they are off-topic for a particular StackExchange site. That said, there is something of a difference between a question about installing a TeX-specific editor (where it's reasonable to view this as on-topic) and installing an editor which happens to be used for TeX (off topic even if there is nowhere else to send it). | |
| Jan 25, 2013 at 18:09 | comment | added | antonio | @JosephWright and others: Yes, I had in my mind actually the idea of LaTeX “friends”. I was afraid of using a term like this, since, when using it, I suppose we might include many other things, like a GUI to facilitate the using the PGF/TizZ package and this might have appeared unpleasant for the advocates of the pure (La)TeX theory. | |
| Jan 25, 2013 at 15:17 | comment | added | alexis | @CharlesStewart, the question is clearly about Hunspell dictionaries. Unless hunspell has a TeX mode that's (suspected of) causing the problem, I'd think an emacs wizard (or hunspell power-user, if they exist) is the one to ask. Anyway I've assumed the question was closed with good reason, which implies that the TeX features are not implicated. If that's not the case, that's a different story. | |
| Jan 25, 2013 at 15:09 | comment | added | alexis | @Joseph, not quite. My point is somewhat covered by "[people with emacs+TeX problems] don't have a better place to go", if you see what I mean. The point being, questions are considered off-topic when there are more relevant forums in which to ask them. TeX content per se is not the issue (questions about TeXCenter installation are accepted, for example). | |
| Jan 25, 2013 at 13:54 | comment | added | yo' | @CharlesStewart But as far as I read the question correctly, there is no mention of "LaTeX markup" at all. | |
| Jan 25, 2013 at 12:09 | comment | added | Charles Stewart | alexis: Emacs has a large community of expert users who are better able than TeX users to solve the OP's spell-checker problem - given that the example document involves Latex markup and Hunspell treats Tex/Latex douments specially, are you sure of this? | |
| Jan 25, 2013 at 8:25 | comment | added | Joseph Wright Mod | @alexis I thought that was covered by require some knowledge about TeX or something directly linked. | |
| Jan 25, 2013 at 0:22 | comment | added | alexis | You don't say why things should be as you describe, but there's very good reason to: A TeX-specific tool like Texworks or Lyx has no user community outside of (La)TeX users. Emacs has a large community of expert users who are better able than TeX users to solve the OP's spell-checker problem (and other problems that do not specifically involve TeX). | |
