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.
