class WWWJDic::Parsers::Key

This class is an implementation of the Parsable duck type that checks the display type. The only needed parameter is the word to translate.

k is the key type:

for dictionary lookups
- for English keys use E, or P to get just “common words”, Q to

get an “exact match” and R to get both;

* for Japanese keys use J (this is mandatory for romaji keys),

P to get just “common words” (doesn't work with romaji), K for keys starting with kanji (first position), and L for kanji keys in any position.

for kanji lookups, use M followed by the KANJIDIC letter codes

(B, U, V, N, etc.) or J if a reading or kanji is being provided. An optional stroke-count or stroke-count range can be included by placing it between “=” characters;

for text glossing use G, or H to turn on the “no repeated

translations“ option.

for multi-radical kanji lookups use J for jouyou kanji-only, H

to include JIS X 0212 kanji, and X for anything else. An optional stroke-count or stroke-count range can be included by placing it between “=” characters.

for example sentence lookups with indexed words use E for EUC,

ISO-2022-JP or UCS, S for Shift_JIS and U for UTF-8, followed by “lookupword=n=kana=”. The kana is optional and is there to disambiguate between different headwords. For “n”, 1 => random selection of 10, anything else => display up to 100 sentences starting at n.

for example sentence lookups using a regular expression, use E

for EUC, ISO-2022-JP or UCS, S for Shift_JIS and U for UTF-8, followed by the search string. Up to 99 example sentences may be displayed.
