Not every word, but near enough for a bit of hyperbole.

It should be pretty easy to implement, especially with automatic spell checkers. Surely you can write an emacs script for it?

Alan, yeah, it should be. I would even stipulate this: Assume flyspell-mode is on. That means that a word is already marked somehow. This should be EASY in emacs.

I wrote a script in Nedit to jump to next/previous C function definition, it was pretty short and straightforward…

A.S: Very misspelled! Just so there would be no mistaking the attempt a humor.

I didn’t see an issue link that would allow me to vote for it.

Those requests do work. I was the requestor for the the “overbar” markup request [1]. The team had to get a revision to the ODF file format to make it happen, but you’ll notice that OO.o now has overbar.

[1] We need it for electronic standards documents.
