 Dictionaries
 ------------
-Unfortunately, this application only really works with specific dictionaries.
-Word definitions have to be in plain text, separated by newlines.
+This application is intended for use with specific dictionaries: each line
+should contain one short word definition.  Moreover, the only supported content
+types are plain text, Pango markup, and XDXF (the visual format works better).
 
-The `make dicts` command will build some examples from freely available sources.

-You may use the included 'transform' tool to convert already existing
-dictionaries that are almost good as they are, e.g., after stripping XML tags.
-You might want to fix up the `sametypesequence` of the resulting '.ifo' file
-afterwards, and run 'dictzip' on the resulting '.dict' file to make it compact.

-An approximate list of things that need to be resolved is as follows:
-
- - the tab bar and the text input field don't handle overflows well,
- - figure out a way to become capable of displaying most StarDict dictionaries.
+ - The tab bar and the text input field don't handle overflows well.
+ - Lacking configuration, standard StarDict locations should be scanned.
 
 Given the entangledness of this codebase, issues with the file format,
 and general undesirability of terminal UIs, it might be better to start anew.
