generic language code "es" gives spelling corrections about ltex-ls HOT 3 CLOSED

I think the above is, if I am understanding the documentation correctly, a bug. However, it is simple to have LTeX ignore those rules, as explained in the documentation. For anyone stumbling on this, the following would do (no spell checks for Spanish or US English):

echo '{"ltex.disabledRules": {"en-US": ["MORFOLOGIK_RULE_EN_US"], "es": ["MORFOLOGIK_RULE_ES"]}}' > config; ./ltex-cli --client-configuration=config /home/ramon/tmp/minimal.tex

(For the sake of completeness: if you are using Emacs' lsp-ltex, https://github.com/emacs-languagetool/lsp-ltex, you can do

(setq lsp-ltex-disabled-rules 
              #s(hash-table size 30 data 
                        ("en-US" ["MORFOLOGIK_RULE_EN_US"]
			  "es" ["MORFOLOGIK_RULE_ES"])
			))

(that 30 is probably unnecessarily large here; adjust as needed ---https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Creating-Hash.html).

From a strict logical point of view, the sentence Use a specific variant like "en-US" or "de-DE" instead of the generic language code like "en" or "de" to obtain spelling corrections (in addition to grammar corrections). doesn't imply that there are no spelling corrections if you use a generic language code. It just says that there are spelling corrections if you use a specific variant.

However, as that was the intention behind the sentence, and also what I thought would be true, I'll rephrase that. Setting to confirmed as this seems to cause confusion.

This issue is now fixed on develop. The fix will be included in the next release of LT_EX.

If you don't want to wait, you can try out the nightly pre-release tomorrow. Nightly pre-releases are published every morning at around 4am UTC.
