adding language attributes

Hi

I have a French language book with lots of Italian verses. They are cleanly identified with the paragraph style "Chanson".

I tried to write:

Code:

<p lang="it" class="Chanson">some Italian verse here</p>

but it does not seem to be enough. The words within this paragraph style are not reported as Italian with the spell checker. I'm probably missing something...

Edit: probably the Italian dictionary.... (shame on me).

Without it, I already achieve something. the French spellchecker is no more cluttered with - of course unknown - Italian words. Italian words are also reported as such with the Calibre report tool (# from spellchecker).

You may also want to add xml:lang="it" as well:

Code:

<p lang="it" xml:lang="it" class="Chanson">some Italian verse here</p>

HTML = lang
XHTML = xml:lang

Having both is helpful for tools/readers that may be looking for one or the other.
