.Sh NAME
.Nm lt-append
.Nd combine two compiled dictionary transducers
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm lt-append
.Ar input_a
.Ar input_b
.Ar output
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm lt-append
will combine two compiled dictionaries as if they had been compiled
from one big XML file, keeping sections separate. If
.Ar input_a
has sections
.Dq main
and
.Dq final
and
.Ar input_b
has section
.Dq regex
then
.Ar output
will have sections \[lq]main\[rq], \[lq]final\[rq] and \[lq]regex\[rq]
(there is no cross-section minimisation, so internally there is no
union, but the behaviour of running the transducer will be as if we
had done the union).
