Emacs package for talking to a dictionary server, which can be used to
|
|
access several dictionaries using a simple protocol as defined in RFC
|
|
2229 (Text Version).
|
|
The dictionary mode provides the following features:
|
|
* looking up word definitions in all dictionaries
|
|
* search for matching word
|
|
* words/phrases marked with { } in the dictionary definitions are recognized
|
|
as hyper links and browseable
|
|
* easy selection of dictionary and search strategy
|
|
* backward moving through the visited definitions
|
|
* in the latest versions of GNU Emacs and XEmacs you get support for popup
|
|
menus
|
|
* in GNU Emacs 21 and XEmacs 21 you can lookup words by simply pointing the
|
|
mouse cursor to them (tool-tips)
|
|
* supports HTTP proxies for port forwarding
|
|
* supports dictionaries which are not encoded as utf-8
