Add words to the aspell Dictionary

Note: Aspell only works on the Linux version of MindTouch and this tutorial is specific to the English dictionary

Create a txt file with the words that you'd like to add to the dictionary, where each word is on a separate line then run the following command:

aspell --lang=en create master ./custom.rws < test.txt

This will create a file called custom.rws that will contain the aspell encoded word(s) for the dictionary.  You can name the file anything you want as long as the extension is .rws.  Now to add this to the dictionary move the custom.rws file to the dictionary location which is /usr/lib/aspell by running the following command:

cp custom.rws /usr/lib/aspell/

To finish adding it to the dictionary change into the dictionary directory by running the following:

cd /usr/lib/aspell/

then edit the following file:

nano en_US.multi

and add the following line:

add custom.rws

Then refresh your MindTouch Deki page and run the spell check and the spell check will ignore the words that were added in your list.
