@Tex2002ans & BobC both said, 'not a good idea to use fake language code.' You won't get any arguments from me on that. As I said before I don't like contrivances.

That's what lead me to seek a language-in-class solution - use-it whilst spell checking, then lose-it

If/when I ever use it in the HTML it'll be transient. I was straightening out a 19th legal text recently that had a boatload of lengthy M.E. quotations, that's the sort of occasion when I might use a 'fake language'.

Interesting exchange.

I'd been wondering if the Tex2002ans handle was a 'nod' to TeX, seemingly not. Maybe TPTB would allow you to upgrade the x to an X, then it could be so :lol:

Added : Kovid just flew in and dropped a nugget of knowledge
