Hyphenated words marked as incorrect when using Aspell

[rudolf-adamkovic]

I am trying to use Jinx + Enchant + Aspell instead of Flyspell + Aspell. Everything works well, except for hyphenated words such as color-coded or end-to-end. I found this is a known limitation in Enchant 1. Given that Emacs knows about word boundaries, could Jinx perhaps work around the problem? If not, then the Aspell back-end (pun intended) is not usable with Jinx, is it?

It works ootb with Hunspell. But you can modify the Jinx syntax table such that - is not treated as a word character.

I am currently trying to treat the backends all the same. See c349bc7. For now I pushed 1c9be6c. Let's see how that goes.

I have just tried it and it "just works". Thank you, @minad!

Would this be a usefull information for the Readme/Wiki? I could write a little paragraph! Because I spent some time in a similar issue (· in french need to be a word character) until I found this discussion, which easily solve my problem with two lines of code:

(defvar jinx--syntax-table
  (let ((st (make-syntax-table)))
    (modify-syntax-entry ?· "w" st)
    st))

@thjbdvlt Interesting. I speak a little french but haven't seen the middle dot. What is it for, gendered forms? Please add to the wiki!
