The API is content-agnostic. A wiki could contain the IPA pronunciation
inside {{IPA|...}}, another could mark the definition with <font
color="green"> </font> and most wouldn't even contain IPA not
definitions (eg. it could be granny's blog).
That means that usually, you need to make your wiki-specific parser to
fetch the pieces relevant for you.
