In a dsl file, to insert a link I use tag like [url]site.com[/url], and the link will be fully visualized in Goldendict lookup interface. It's ok because this very link is short. Now I have to insert a long long link, like:

https://www.google.com/search?q=the&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=QHC&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&biw=1280&bih=590&source=hp&q=how+are+you%3F&pbx=1&oq=how+are+you%3F&aq=f&aqi=g4&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=28104l30590l1l31569l12l9l0l0l0l0l431l2979l0.1.2.5.1l9l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=6a01c1aab557d443

So it will be visually untidy to have link fully seen, any alternative to handle this?

Thanks!

Not right now, not in DSL. We could probably shorten overly long links automatically, though.

For the time being you could just use:
Code: Select all
https://www.google.com/search?q=whatever

The rest of the parameters are just of interest to Google. Also, I don't see the point in specifying you're using Firefox when you're using GoldenDict.
