   101 Dictionary source file format.
       
   102 ==============================
       
   103 
       
   104 For source file format used dictd C5 file format. See::
       
   105 
       
   106   $ man 1 dictfmt
       
   107 
       
   108 Shortly:
       
   109 
       
   110  * Headwords was preceded by 5 or more underscore characters ``_`` and a blank
       
   111    line.
       
   112  * All text until the next headword is considered the definition.
       
   113  * Any leading ``@`` characters are stripped out, but the file is
       
   114    otherwise unchanged.
       
   115 
       
   116 For convenience also used such assumptions:
       
   117 
       
   118  * Headwords was separated by ``;<SPACE>`` (and all was placed on single
       
   119    line).
       
   120  * UTF-8 encoding was used.
       
   121  * Lines started with ``#`` striped out (comment syntax).
       
   122  * First line with ``ABOUT:`` used as description of dictionary.
       
   123  * First URL (line with ``http://``) used as dictionary home page.
