WWWJDIC Raw Output option

[Jim Breen <jimbreen@*********>]

Greetings,

A couple of developers of iPhone/Android/etc. apps which interface with WWWJDIC
have asked if there could be a "raw output" option to make it simpler to get
the basic dictionary results without having to scrape it out of increasingly
complex and changing HTML and Javascript. I had considered it in the past,
but never got a Roundtoit. I whipped in in the other day as part of
the "Backdoor"
method, and it seems to work OK. Only took a few minutes. You mostly get the
straight dictionary entries in a minimal HTML page.

There is a brief announcement at:

Examples:
