;;; Commentary:
;;
;; Put diction.el somewhere in your load-path and the following 
;; into your .emacs:
;;
;; (require 'diction)
;;
;; You can then call one of diction-buffer or diction-region.
;;
;; diction currently supports only English and German, although it
;; would be easy to write rulesets for other languages.  You can set the
;; language by specifying the ruleset, doing one of
;;
;; M-x set-variable RET diction-ruleset RET "en"
;; M-x set-variable RET diction-ruleset RET "de"
;;
;; which sets the (buffer local) ruleset to use.  However, if you do
;; not set the ruleset explicitly, then diction will try to guess the
;; ruleset by analysing the dictionary used when running ispell (provided
;; you already used ispell on that buffer) or by a simple (but usually
;; very good) heuristic.

; $Log: diction.el,v $
; Revision 1.8  2005/09/29 12:55:52  utcke
; Applied a patch by Aaron S. Hawley:
;
; Attached is a patch that fixes some type errors that occur when using
; diction.el in Emacs 21 and Emacs 22 (the development "CVS" version).
;
; Revision 1.8  2005/09/28 19:00:31  ashawley
; (diction-guess-buffer-language) Fix type error.
; (diction-delimited) Fix type error.
;
; Revision 1.7  2002/02/14 10:10:43  utcke
; New Emacs Lisp Archive Entry and License (Public Domain).
;
; Revision 1.6  2000/11/21 09:52:45  utcke
; Fixed bug in documentation.
;
; Revision 1.5  2000/09/13 10:00:06  utcke
; * added Emacs Lisp Archive Entry
; * updated commentary
; * This now requires compile
; * variables diction-prefix-alist and diction-language-alist to guess
;   preprocessing and language, as well as the corresponding function
;   diction-associate.
; * diction-guess-buffer-language to guess the language.
; * should now work without ispell/hilit19
; * works with compile.el again.
;
; Revision 1.4  1998/05/08 21:35:16  utcke
; somewhat shorter, thanks to an idea by Kai Grossjohann.
;
; Revision 1.3  1998/05/08 20:57:09  utcke
; Improved documentation some.
;
; Revision 1.2  1998/05/08 20:37:49  utcke
; works (mainly)
;
; TODO: The first occurrence found doesn't work.  Why?
;
; Revision 1.1  1998/05/08 14:43:01  utcke
; Initial revision
;
;

;; TODO
;;
;; * convert umlauts based on major mode / some variable
;; * use Gnu recode / tcl??? to convert umlauts
;; * mechanism similar to ispell-words-keyword?
;; * allow for an additional ruleset (buffer-local, or maybe using an association again?)
;;
