[oXygen-user] request about french spellchecking

[Matthieu Ricaud-Dussarget]

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for your reply. This feature will really helpfull for people 
working with french litteracy, thank your for adding it to your issue 
tracker.

The XML files I process are big and numerous, and well just replacing 
the chars would be dangerous cause it's not fully reversible (both chars 
may appears in the original file...). But fortunately, I process the 
original file with an XSLT, so I can add a parameter to replace or not 
this char when debugging it, that's all right !

Thanks again,
Best regards,

Matthieu.
