Dictionary shells supporting XDXF about xdxf_makedict HOT 11 OPEN

Goldendict for desktop. Among the features I use in my dictionaries, only small problems exist:

• <kref> with idref attribute #348;
• it's not clear how <co> should be styled, currently GoldenDict surrounds it with parentheses. It would be better if you publish reference design showing how a sample article would look;
• combinations of tags <c><i> or <i><c> are rendered with unwanted spaces (remember me to submit bug);
• examples <ex> were recently improved #1135.

Did you have a try at Goldendict for desktop? To what degree does it support XDXF?

from xdxf_makedict.

Sounds like not very far full support of rev 33, am I right? Should we add it to the list?
May I copy the list to the README on repo main page?

Sure, I created this issue only because you were asking "please send me other examples, that I dont know of".

P.S. Author of Alpus is currently fixing support of XDXF. Testing version works very good, so waiting for release.

New beta-version of Alpus (see Testing Downloads) is fully compatible with XDXF v33 as far as can judge.

@nikita-moor, Do you think we could invite the author to our project to get some advice/experience from them?

from xdxf_makedict.

You could get in touch with the developer of Alpus by e-mail, he answers quickly and is open for questions related to the app; but it seems he does not feel GitHub being a convenient place for discussion. Anyway, I am sure he is reading this thread and have seen your invitation.

GoldenDict: format tags bug #1164.

from xdxf_makedict.

• Linguae (last release in 2011): can read XDXF. It's an old project, but Python code is open.

from xdxf_makedict.

• SimpleDict (last release in 2009): can read XDXF.

Thanks, @nikita-moor, I added Alpus to the list. I decided no to add really old projects, since they don't support recent versions of the standard.
