New package: Lookup Wiktionary entries in Emacs

https://github.com/agzam/wiktionary-bro.el [demo](https://i.imgur.com/K1tLmNL.mp4) It doesn't do much yet, just a bit more convenient way to browse Wiktionary entries. It lets you quickly send a request and see an entry without TOC and edit buttons. I'd like to add more features later.

I made some eww wrapper function for this, but it was pretty iffy. Happy to see this made

A kind of related project https://github.com/chenyanming/shrface

This looks pretty cool. I wonder if the idea (rendering parts of Web pages using `shr`, ala `eww` but selectively) could be generalized to make it easier to write wrappers to view useful parts of Web pages in Emacs.

Well, honestly, [right now] it's probably not much different from what you had. But as I said, I'm hoping to improve this and make it much nicer. I've been using a few packages for my polylingual needs, but somehow I rarely made use of Wiktionary. Recently decided to learn Spanish and now I'm constantly getting fascinated by how different words shaped seemingly dissimilar languages. Wiktionary is a great resource to explore etymologies.

Nice. Thank you. I do remember seeing it once, but didn't have an immediate need for it, and I quickly forgot about it.

I kinda get what you mean, but I'm feeling dumb and can't expand it in my head. Could you provide an example use case?

I’m studying Russian at my university right now. A few weeks ago I had a massive project to compose a glossary for a text. In a glossary all the words must in either infinitive (verb) or nominative (noun/adjective) form. Wiktionary is a great resource for looking up a word to find the best definition in English and for finding the nominative case. Porting wiktionary to emacs helped me to a task that may have taken a month into two days

That sounds wonderful. If you can share some ideas on how to make this little thing better and more practical, please do. I'd appreciate any feedback.

I’ll look over it later and see if it needs anything that I needed

Well, any Web site that could be useful to view in Emacs but has extraneous content that isn't useful to show in Emacs (headers, menus, etc).

You know about `(eww-readable)`, do you? It's not great though. Would be nice to have something even better.

Well, `w3m.el` had filters, though they were pretty simple (regex based replacements, AIR). These days I would prefer to use a more robust, probably selector-like (think of Clojure library `enlive` or CSS selectors) solution. P.S. So, I'm talking something like, say if we want to render a post vote counter only (`shr-` functions are imaginary ones): (thread-first html (shr-select "#vote-arrows-t3_zupne5") (shr-render-string))

Yes, `org-web-tools` makes use of it. Its algorithm works pretty well, but it's not suitable for every site.

Some Elisp libraries already exist that implement CSS/XPath-style selectors. I catalogued some at https://github.com/alphapapa/emacs-package-dev-handbook
