7.5 Replacement Tables
When phonetic code is not used a replacement table can be used instead.
To enable the use of a replacement table add the line
repl-table
lang
, in which case the replacement table is excepted to be in
the file
lang
_repl.dat
.  A complete file name can also be
specified in place of
lang
.  For compatibility with MySpell the
replacement table can also be part of the affix file, in which case
repl-table
will be
lang
_affix.dat"
.
Replacement table syntax:
REP [number_of_replacement_definitions]
REP [what] [replacement]
REP [what] [replacement]
For example a possible English replacement table definition
to handle misspelled consonants:
REP 8
REP f ph
REP ph f
REP f gh
REP gh f
REP j dg
REP dg j
REP k ch
REP ch k
