As I understand it, the lack of a usable Thai spell-checker for LibreOffice (unlike, say, a Khmer spell-checker) is due to the Thai break iterator. (I had expected Thai and Khmer to face similar problems, for neither has a visible word separator and syllable boundaries are often unclear in both.) Tagging Thai script text as Khmer does not work (at least, not in Version 3.4.5); the word boundaries are still determined by the Thai break iterator.
Is it possible to create an experimental alternative to the Thai break iterator that can be shared with other people as a LibreOffice extension? I would be prepared to routinely use U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE (ZWSP) to separate words in the Thai script, but I suspect Thais would not. Also, I can seem my first useful version fouling up the rendering of pre-existing text. I can't work out how to create a break iterator as an *extension*. Could someone please advise me how, e.g. by pointing to the documentation or an example. I can find documentation for *publishing* an extension, but that does not address *creating* an extension.
