GoldenDict Forum

Hope goldendict could support separate css file for stardict dictionaries.

To be honest, I'm not that familiar with Stardict format. If some css file is listed in the dictionary itself, where is it located?

I mean, if somebody needs to adjust formatting for the specific dictionary then that particular dictionary needs to be updated. I'm sure there is a way to extract the contents from stardict dictionary and redo it with adjustments.

Thanks Tvangeste.
I want to express my question in another way as follows:
Is it possible to build a series of css files, named a.css, b.css, d.css,e.css...
and let specified css files support a specified dictionary, for example, a.css is used for Longman dictionary, and b.css is used for
another dictionary?

Thanks!

I just committed the change to support loading external CSS files in the same way you can load images. The css file has to be stored in the "res" subfolder located at the same level as the stardict dictionary files.




I only tested this with "Oxford English-Chinese dictionary", the only dictionary I have which contains a CSS file:

Before:


After:


As you can see after the fix the CSS is loaded and the text is formatted correctly.

You can compile from source code or wait until next Developer or Early Access build.

The dev build that includes this fix has been posted in the dev builds thread, so you can take a look.
