<h4>4.4.4 Translating a Word with another Word</h4>
Rather than specifying the pronunciation of a word by a phoneme string, you can specify another "sounds like" word.<p>Use the attribute <b>$text</b> eg.<p>
<pre>
cough coff $text
</pre>
Alternatively, use the command <b>$textmode</b> on a line by itself to turn this on for all subsequent entries in the file, until it's turned off by <b>$phonememode</b>. eg.<p>
<pre>
$textmode
cough coff
through threw
$phonememode
</pre>
This feature cannot be used for the special entries in the <b>_list</b> files which start with an underscore, such as numbers.<p>
Currently "textmode" entries are only recognized for complete words, and not for for stems from which a prefix or suffix has been removed (eg. the word "coughs" would not match the example above).

<h3>4.5 Conditional Rules</h3>
Rules in a <b>_rules</b> file and entries in a <b>_list</b> file can be made conditional. They apply only to some voices. This can be useful to specify different pronunciations for different variants of a language (dialects or accents).<p>

<h3>4.7 Character Substitution</h3>
Chracter substitutions can be specified by using a <b> .replace </b> section at the start of the <b> _rules </b> file. Each line specified either one or two alphabetic characters to be replaced by another one or two alphabetic characters. This substitution is done to a word before it is translated using the spelling-to-phoneme rules. Only the lower-case version of the characters needs to be specified. eg.<p>
&nbsp; .replace<br>
&nbsp; &nbsp; &#xf4; &nbsp; &#x151; &nbsp; // (Hungarian) allow the use of o-circumflex instead of o-double-accute<br>
