<h2 class="chapter">15 How It All Works</h2>
<p>The details of how Aspell really works is a mystery to most users who
want to participate in developing and improving Aspell, so it is best
to fully explain Aspell’s core algorithms and data structures to you.
</p>
<p>In explaining these, it is hoped to bring prospective developers up to
speed more quickly and also help you understand the amount of thought
put into this. In time, you may be able to improve Aspell even more.
</p>
<p>There are many details to explain here, so these will need explaining
in small segments.
