ispell and LaTeX

["Stefan M. Moser" <moser@isi.ee.ethz.ch>]

Hi everybody!

I would like to enhance the ispell of my emacs in such a way that it DOES NOT 
check certain (in general not often used) LaTeX-commands. For example, in

		\eqref{eq:labelname}

I want ispell to ignore "eq" and "labelname". To this aim I have found a variable 
called "ispell-tex-skip-alists" that should do exactly this. However, when I set 
the variable in my .emacs-file nothing happens at all. Could anybody give me a 
hint what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Stefan

This is the entry in my .emacs-file:

(setq ispell-tex-skip-alists

      ;; All the standard LaTeX keywords from L. Lamport's guide:
      ;; \cite, \hspace, \hspace*, \hyphenation, \include, \includeonly, \input,
      ;; \label, \nocite, \rule (in ispell - rest included here)
      ("\\\\addcontentsline"              ispell-tex-arg-end 2)
      ("\\\\add\\(tocontents\\|vspace\\)" ispell-tex-arg-end)
