<convert>...</convert>

Hunspell allows you to specify input and output conversion tables. (See the Hunspell documentation and test files for ICONV and OCONV). These conversion tables are placed inside the <convert> element in HunspellXML.

<convert>
	<input from="’" to="'"/>
	<input from="à" to="à"/>

	<output to="'" from="’"/>
</convert>

In this example, input from the user is converted in the following ways:

• curly single quotes are converted to a plain apostrophe
• the letter "a" followed by a combining grave accent are converted to a single character "Latin small letter a with grave"

The suggestions and other output are converted by:

• converting plain apostrophes into curly single quotes
• the "Latin small letter a with grave" is not converted on output, presumably because that is the preferred way to represent the letter.
