dictionary separately, but have been run together, are considered to be

using.  In some cases, dictionaries will support more than one encoding.
A dictionary might, for example, accept accented characters when
<emphasis>Latin1</emphasis> is selected, but accept email-style
character combinations (like <userinput>'a</userinput> for an accented
<emphasis>a</emphasis>) when <emphasis>7-Bit-ASCII</emphasis> is
selected.  Please see your dictionary's distribution for more
information.</para>
