using flyspell-region from another function

using flyspell-region from another function

[henri-biard]

Have written a function that calls "flyspell-region".



Naturally this needs the BEG and END of the region to be passed.  How should I call flyspell-region, meaning, what should I pass to it ?



(defun myspell ()

    (interactive)

    (flyspell-region beg end))



Want to select the region then call  "M-x myspell".



Do you know how I can use the superior aspell ?

It can look like this:

(defun sort-second-field (beg end)
  (interactive "r")
  (sort-fields 2 beg end) )
(defalias 's2f #'sort-second-field)

You can also make it more generic, for example this which is
DWIM interactively (region if region, 0->point if not), and
from Lisp with args beg->end, and from Lisp w/o args the whole
buffer! so 4 ways to invoke!

(defun count-chars (&optional beg end)
  (interactive
   (if (use-region-p)
       (list (region-beginning) (region-end))
     (list (point-min) (point)) ))
  (message "%d" (- (or end (point-max))
                   (or beg (point-min)) )))

Because I want to use a single function for spelling, rather than having to call ispell, aspell,

flyspell directly.

That's another thing, I also want that only I only use ispell
(I think flyspell is disruptive; aspell rings a very distant
bell... must have been unaware of it existence for 10+ years!)

No, what I mean to say, if you write you own functions, don't
call them the same as existing functions, unless you have very
good reasons to do that. Even so, it is like asking for
trouble, like a fist fight outside a pizzeria at 03:13 Friday
night, the punches were coming from other planets...

I will use just one name, but the functionality can be from either ispell, aspell, ar

flyspell.



I agree there are some problems with flyspell,  And aspell, I have no clue how to use in emacs.

If it is the dictionary set by default just invoke the
spelling and it will be used for that purpose.
