Example: if the file has the following format

 L1=v12 :: L2= v22 :: Ln= vn2

the command

 tag2thesaurus -rs='\n' -fs='::' -fss='=' L2 file

would produce thesaurus :

 %baselang L2
 v21
 L1   v11
 Ln   vn1
 v22
 L1   v12
 Ln   vn2

Errors and Warnings

Each entry must have a term in the baselanguage (otherwise, it is created one named ``undef term 1'').

Each entry should have just one term in the baselanguage (the first one will be taken as the term, the other became "SYN-baselang" ).
