Usage

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

// Ships two variants, plus DictionaryEntry.
use cleasby_vigfusson_dictionary::{get_dictionary, get_no_markup_dictionary, 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 no_markup_dictionary = get_no_markup_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 dictionary_content: Vec<DictionaryEntry> = dictionary.unwrap();
let no_markup_dictionary_content: Vec<DictionaryEntry> = no_markup_dictionary.unwrap();

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