Stumped by error on "#" prefix marking

[Leonid Spektor]

Bruno,

	I am afraid there is no good way to do this. Having '#' character inside a word is such a bad idea from our perspective, that we don't allow it even if someone does put *_#_* into depfile.cut. 

	Of cause being CLAN you can do whatever you want, but it will be at your own rick. You can add keyword "legacy" to @Options: header in depfile.cut, so that @Options: line will read:

	@Options:	heritage num sign IPA CA multi caps bullets legacy

and then add @Options: header to your data files like this:

@Options:	legacy

But if you are going to go through all this trouble, then what is the point of running CHECK anyway. You can add '#" inside a word and just don't run CHECK on that data file. The other side effect of @Options:	legacy is that CHECK will not check if words start with capitalized letters.


Leonid.

For example prefixes like "ha#" and "ba#". If you have '#' character in the middle or the beginning of the the word, then CHECK will complain.
