+* Detailed French Parser
+
+This parser aims at creating XML files detailing a parse of French text. As for
+now, it doesn’t consider yet French syntax and will only consider the first
+option if a word has multiple definitions in the original dictionary.
+
+* Credits
+
+The Python code is a modified version of a parser by [[http://www.ai.univ-paris8.fr/index.php?page=membres&member=ap][Anna Pappa]], professor at
+the University of Paris 8.
+
+~dico.dictfr~ is a file extracted from Alter/Ego, a software by the company
+Plogue, Art et Technologie, based on the [[http://redac.univ-tlse2.fr/lexiques/psychoglaff.html][PsychoGLÀFF]]. It is distributed under
