# Clean CNRTL
Attempt to create a more readable and more accessible version of the [TLFi dictionary](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tr%C3%A9sor_de_la_langue_fran%C3%A7aise_informatis%C3%A9) as displayed on the _Centre National des Ressources Textuelles et Lexicales_ (CNRTL), which is one of the best dictionaries available for French but suffers from a complex and outdated presentation that greatly reduces its usefulness for the general public (though it may be adapted to academic usage).
This project acts as a new front UI to the CNRTL dictionary, with the following goals:
- a **clearer presentation** for search results, clearly separating definitions, examples, citations, etc. to improve reader's understanding.
- simpler and **more semantic HTML markup**, to improve rendering from screen-readers and allow custom styling.
- a **simpler web UI**, easy to use and quick to load, focusing on the dictionary search and result.
- a **responsive design**, so the dictionary is fully usable on any type of device.
See [this blog article](https://bbecquet.net/articles/2021/03/tlfi-simplifi%C3%A9/) (in French) for more details.
