Reading from Mdict doesn't include css rules to the resulted file

[sobaee]

Hello Saeed

Look at this mdx dictionary
https://cloud.freemdict.com/public.php/dav/files/pgKcDcbSDTCzXCs/ENGLISH/Eng-Deu/Cambridge%20English-German%20-%20German-English%20Dictionary%20(MDX).7z

it contains a .css file beside the main dictionary file

This .css file has a link in the source and this link will be kept even in the resulted dictionary file after Pyglossary conversion:

this link will not fix the .css rules in the resulted dictionary as for example Golden dict will not recognize this .css file even if it is beside the dictionary file. for example .ifo or .txt in Golden dict doesn't support these links even if they have this link.

Dicttango for example can recognize these files and fix the dictionary style according to it but not Goldendict with .ifo or .txt dictionaries.

Request: is there anyway to impend the css rules to the resulted .ifo or .txt files? or a way to support these links in golden dict?

I know this is a big funstion that need a lot of time and effort, but I hope you can do something for it

Thanks alot

It won't let me download the file:

{"error":"Strict Cookie has not been found in request"}

Please upload it to google drive or mega.nz.

The css file is not part of an mdd file.
It's just sitting next to the mdx file.
It doesn't even have the same name as mdx file.

It would be really weird to automatically add all css or js or image or audio files in the same directory as given mdx.

Just copy these manually to res folder next to the .ifo file after you convert.

It is not about just puting the file inside the res folder

it is about taking all styles from the .css file and impending them to the .ifo dictionary for every word, bro

Because goldendict is not recognizing .css files even if they are inside the res folder and have links in the dictionary.

Thank you

How do you know it's not recognizing the css? Can you send a screenshot?

Looks like it does to me:

It is Goldendict Mobile
Sorry for missunderstanding, I don't know about desktop GD.

Nothing I can do it about that.
It's not even open source.
