Can thin space characters behave as no-break spaces in GD?

Hi, Abs62,

Thank you so much for the latest build!

Besides the normal space (U+0020) and the no-break space (U+00A0), there are several other "thin space" characters in digital typography (eg. U+2006, U+2009). French texts usually put "no-break spaces" inside « », in front of question-marks (?), colons (:), and semicolons (;). GoldenDict does a great job of respecting this behavior at the end of the lines.

My question is the following: is it possible to customize the behavior of "thin space" characters, such as U+2006 or U+2009, in the "article-style.css" file, in order to behave as non-breaking, as well?

I have been trying to find an answer in the Inspector, but with no luck. Thanks.

Best wishes

EA build 1.5.0-RC-394-g141703a contains libeb-16.dll.

I think I made some mistake when extracting/replacing the files from EA 409 over EA 394 in Program Files x86, but now I have sorted it out, by extracting the files to a non-system folder, then copying and replacing the old ones. Thanks. :)

Hi,

I'm making a mdict(.mdx) dictionary and trying to use javascript to make it a little funny.
I tried to put the script file in .MDD and add the following in every mdx-entry:
<script src="j.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
but it doesn't work.

I checked the html-page generated by goldendict,
it seems that GD need to translate every resource file's path that is placing in .MDD firstly like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="aaa.css">
TO
<link rel="stylesheet" href="bres://bc3bdd395c273850f7e10e8d2ef7bb25/aaa.css">

But GD doesn't do the same path-translation upon my j.js file which is also placing in .MDD file.
I guess that's the problem, it cannot find j.js.

Could anyone fix this problem?
Thanks a lot.

Missing context-menu "Edit" under Win 8.1

Hi,

I can't get the right-click context-menu "Edit dictionary" under Windows 8.1 as I can under Windows 7. I have the same GD configuration and editable DSL files on both computers (build 409). Have I missed something or is it OS specific?

Thanks.
