DictionaryEntry[] noMarkupResult = dictionary.getDictionary(); // has alias "getNoMarkupDictionary"

DictionaryEntry[] markupResult = dictionary.getMarkupDictionary();

// Headwords wont differ between dictionaries.

System.out.println(noMarkupResult[14].headword);  // afbindi

System.out.println(markupResult[14].headword);    // afbindi

// But definition markup does differ.

System.out.println(noMarkupResult[14].definitions[0]);   // n. constipation.

System.out.println(markupResult[14].definitions[0]);     // n. constipation.

```

```java

{

    String headword;

    String[] definitions;

}

```
