<h3 class="section">7.5 Replacement Tables</h3>
<p>When phonetic code is not used a replacement table can be used instead.
To enable the use of a replacement table add the line <code>repl-table
</code><var>lang</var>, in which case the replacement table is excepted to be in
the file <samp><var>lang</var><span class="file">_repl.dat</span></samp>. A complete file name can also be
specified in place of <var>lang</var>. For compatibility with MySpell the
replacement table can also be part of the affix file, in which case
<samp><span class="option">repl-table</span></samp> will be <samp><var>lang</var><span class="file">_affix.dat"</span></samp>.
<p>Replacement table syntax:
<pre class="example"> REP [number_of_replacement_definitions]
REP [what] [replacement]
REP [what] [replacement]
</pre>
<p>For example a possible English replacement table definition
to handle misspelled consonants:
<pre class="example"> REP 8
REP f ph
REP ph f
REP f gh
REP gh f
REP j dg
REP dg j
REP k ch
REP ch k
</pre>
