optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--name NAME specify the name of the dictionary
--out FILE specify name of the produced .index and .dict files

```
## Download
If you want all the dictionary data, you can just download pre-generated files from the [releases page](https://github.com/abdnh/tdk2dict/releases/).
## TODO
Currently definitions, example sentences, and properties are imported. Maybe there are other useful info to import?
