Description Björn Michaelsen 2014-12-22 18:25:26 UTC
The technical dictionary is at extras/source/wordbook/technical.dic in the source tree. As there are new technical terms coming up each year, it would be good to have these added to the dictionary for autocorrect not being a hassle for technical writing. As usual, please provide small-scoped patches that can be trivially reviewed and dont mix multiple issues at once.

What does equal sign in some words mean? Why just on some words? Is there any documentation about this (my search didn't produced any results).

It's not language specific dictionary, can language specific dictionary be added alongside this one? It's necessary for handling cases and such. Can regular aff file be used with this?

What was main idea behind having those words in separate dictionary instead handling them in regular spell-checking dictionary?
