Word Boundary Options

The Use German babel conventions option tells Excalibur that you are using " when typing an umlaut. For example, this tells Excalibur that "u is the same as \"u. When you turn on this option Excalibur will also know about the German double quotes "' and "`, the French double quotes "< and ">, the hyphens "-, "", and "=, and the ß (es-zet) \3, "s and "z. This option is not available if you do not have LaTeX command parsing turned on.

The Single quote marks end of word option tells Excalibur that a single quote will never be part of a word. This is probably not useful for English speaking users since this causes Excalibur to no longer recognize contractions. It may be useful in French though. If the word ``application'' is in the dictionary, then Excalibur won't flag ``l'application.'' Even if this option is checked, Excalibur will still recognize the \' accent.

The Regard 's as end of word option tells Excalibur to stop parsing a word when it reaches 's. Thus, if the word ``Knuth'' is in your dictionary, Excalibur won't flag ``Knuth's''. This option is probably most useful to English speaking users. This option is not available if Single quote marks end of word is checked.
