Hi there, after the `load python` bug[1], I tried to configure some WikiMedia databases using the `dicod`-commented M4 macros, without success: ``` root@harlock:~# /usr/bin/dicod --stderr -f dicod: Error: /etc/dicod.conf:136.11-11: stray character ` dicod: Error: /etc/dicod.conf:136.14-14: stray character ' dicod: Error: /etc/dicod.conf:137.3-3: stray character ` dicod: Error: /etc/dicod.conf:137.20-20: stray character ' root@harlock:~# ``` [1] <https://bugs.debian.org/1028487> NB, plain non-macro configurations as the ones in the `dico-module-mediawiki`'s README.Debian allowed `dicod` to start. In fact, after having read the `dico` upstream manual[2] I discovered that for whatever reason (I am not an M4 neither a `dico` expert) the wrong quoting characters ` and ' where used instead of [ and ][3], albeit according to the M4 manual[4] ` and ' are indeed the M4 default quoting characters. [2] <https://www.gnu.org.ua/software/dico/manual/dico.html#Preprocessor> [3] <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66738638/how-should-i-escape-a-comma-inside-the-arguments-to-esyscmd#70503189> [4] <https://www.gnu.org/software/m4/manual/m4.html#Quoted-strings> Thus, replacing `' with [] in the `wikipedia` and `wiktionary` M4 macro definitions was the first step to get something working, albeit to have everything OK I could not be able to keep the `wiktionary` and `wiktionary` macro names, attached the full patch. However, two final notes: 1. the snippets in `dico-module-mediawiki`'s README.Debian are IMHO useless if `dicod.conf` contains commented M4 macros. 2. I would go for a even more generic MediaWiki M4 macro and not 2 different ones, as shown in the included `/etc/dicod.conf`.
