Thank you very much. It seems that the software ebwin (free: http://hishida.s271.xrea.com/download/e ... win425.zip) does not have such limitation.

Where can I take this dictionary for testing?

This version is much better than the previous one. Gaiji was displayed as pictures in this version. I wonder whether it is possible to use Unicode to show these Gaiji characters.

Some other comments:
1 index: the index of epwing format is much complicated than that of dsl and stardict, the latest version still has index problem:


2 hyperlink:
Once clicked, the hyperlink in the dictionary articles cannot be jumped correctly.


3 tag problems
since epwing use different tag formats in comparison with that of standard html, still some tag problems exists, for instance, pictures in the articles is not in is original place, with some remnant tags like [image]


4. Other requests for future versions: Is it possible to use non-ascii in the path route? and is it possible to add icons for dictionaries?

Use fonts substitute file "afonts_X" (where X is subbook number - 0, 1, 2, etc.) beside the "catalogs" file. For example:

Code: Select all

wa12b 㷔
wa121 ㇽ
wa122 è


First position - epwing symbol code, second - html code which will be used instead.

What here is wrong?

It is just text from article, not added tag.

Not now. It needs to refactor EB library or parse epwing files without it. I don't know where to find epwing format specification on English.

Will be.

Dear Abs62, thank you so much. I tried the latest 1.5.0-RC-386-g8b3a7a4. The headwords problem of English-Japanese dictionaries still exists.
