# Old Icelandic Dictionary

Old Icelandic dictionary for Golang. From "A Concise Dictionary of Old Icelandic" by Geir Zoëga

The dictionary consists of 29 000+ Old Icelandic words with English translations.

### Install

`go get github.com/stscoundrel/old-icelandic-dictionary-go`

### Usage

The dictionary comes in two variants:

- Default dictionary has html markup `` and `` to match look of the original book.

- No-markup version has the same content without any additional formatting tags.


```go

package main

import (

    "fmt"

    dictionary "github.com/stscoundrel/old-icelandic-dictionary-go"

)

func main() {

  defaultDictionary, defaltErr := dictionary.GetDictionary()

  noMarkupDictionary, noMarkupErr := dictionary.GetNoMarkupDictionary()

  

  // Error handling as you please.

  if defaltErr != nil {

    fmt.Println(err)

  }

  

  // Contains 29 000+ DictionaryEntries.

  for _, entry := range defaultDictionary {

    fmt.Println(entry.Headword)

  }

  

  // Headwords wont differ in dictionaries.

  fmt.Println(defaultDictionary[14].Headword)  // afbindi

  fmt.Println(noMarkupDictionary[14].Headword) // afbindi

  

  // But definitions markup will differ

  fmt.Println(defaultDictionary[14].Definitions[0])  // n. constipation.

  fmt.Println(noMarkupDictionary[14].Definitions[0]) // n. constipation.

}

```

The entries are structs of:

```go

type DictionaryEntry struct {

  Headword          string

  Definitions       []string

}

```
