Dictionary source file format.
==============================

For source file format used dictd C5 file format. See::

  $ man 1 dictfmt

Shortly:

 * Headwords preceded by 5 or more underscore characters ``_`` and a
   blank line.
 * All text until the next headword is considered the definition.
 * Any leading ``@`` characters are stripped out, but the file is
   otherwise unchanged.

For convenience also used such assumptions:

 * Headwords separated by ``;<SPACE>`` (and all was placed on single
   line).
 * UTF-8 encoding was used.
 * Lines started with ``#`` striped out (comment syntax).
 * First line with ``ABOUT:`` used as description of dictionary.
 * First URL (line with ``http://``) used as dictionary home page.
