[Lexicog] Tshwanelex when the structure of your articles often changes

Of course - almost all dictionaries made in TshwaneLex are like 
this. However, for a dictionary of any complexity, it does tend to 
require some initial setup (as all dictionaries are different), and 
that setup setup may be non-trivial. Once it is set up though, it is 
generally easy to then use. It's definitely worth doing, for any 
project, even if it seems complex to set up ... the advantages are 
innumerable.

I'll try see if I can throw together a sample of the below.
