No-one said anything against flat text files, but they'll have to
include a few

<tags>

The gismu list:

01436 Lojban gismu list 9/26/94 01436 Draft dictionary

is simply and regularly formatted. It is easy to write a computer
program to produce pretty printed output, with tags, as I have done
(and posted the program here some time ago).

Five entries [** see below] do not fit the regular format and need
fixing in the original. I did that by hand.

The cmavo list is also simply and regularly formatted, albeit
different than the gismu list.

I urge you to write something that does as good a job as the already
existing program. You may not like my choice of tags or formatting:
please choose your own and consider adding more typesetting mark up,
too.
