Will Sigil use a custom word list as a source for suggestions, I have a feeling it doesn't. But, I maybe thinking of other software that uses the hunspell dictionaries and similar spell checking dialogues to those in Sigil. I don't have Sigil on this device so I can't check.
@
Doitsu - do you know of any utilities to add words to an existing hunspell dictionary. I've looked around a couple of times, all I've ever found were instructions on how to do it manually, which isn't exactly suited to occasional use.
I'm thinking of something that would work through a word list, prompting whether to add each word (discarded words could be put in a file for the tool's subsequent use), and for any additional properties needed for the .dic, the hyph_?.dic, and the .aff file entries - and optionally the .dat and the .idx files (curious - what uses them). A standalone utility, not something built into Sigil itself, or a plugin, or anything similar.
Assuming it exists, such a utility would help address 'word lists not used for suggestions' issue. To use the revised dictionary in Sigil one would need to add it to "...\sigil-ebook\sigil\hunspell_dictionaries" as a custom dictionary.

KevinH - would be nice if Sigil could process the OXTs that one wants to use as custom dictionaries and extract what it needs, rather than having to do it manually. I screwed up several times when I first I wanted to add some.
