Variable: ispell-encoding8-command

ispell-encoding8-command is a variable defined in ispell.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

Command line option prefix to select encoding if supported, nil otherwise.

If setting the encoding is supported by spellchecker and is selectable from the command line, this variable will contain "--encoding=" for Aspell and "-i " for Hunspell, so the appropriate mime charset can be selected. That will be set in ispell-check-version for Hunspell >= 1.1.6 and Aspell >= 0.60.

For Aspell, non-nil also means to try to automatically find its dictionaries.

Earlier Aspell versions do not consistently support charset encoding. Handling this would require some extra guessing in ispell-aspell-find-dictionary.
