Usage

Dictionary comes in two variants: one with html markup, and one without.

```rust // Ships two variants, plus DictionaryEntry. use oldicelandiczoega::{getdictionary, getnomarkupdictionary, DictionaryEntry};

// Standard dictionary. Contains "strong" and "i" tags to match the printed book. let dictionary = get_dictionary();

// No-markup version. Contains no tags or additional markup. let nomarkupdictionary = getnomarkup_dictionary();

// Both methods return Result, which should always be safe to unwrap. // Up to you if you wish to just unwrap, or use other error handling method. let dictionarycontent: Vec = dictionary.unwrap(); let nomarkupdictionarycontent: Vec = nomarkupdictionary.unwrap();

println!("A word from dictionary: {}. First definition for it is: {}", &dictionarycontent[0].word, &dictionarycontent[0].definitions[0]) ```
