Prerequisites

• rg. brew install ripgrep
• apple-peeler. pip install apple-peeler

Setup: extract XML from the dictionaries.

1. Read README of apple-peeler, but basically

export DICT_BASE="/System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_DictionaryServices_dictionaryOSX/"
apple-peeler --out apple-peeler-output # you will need this folder as part of path to xml config value

2. Configure this workflow

Path to xml: apple-peeler-output/Croatian.xml -- replace with the actual dictionary you want to use
Output file: file inside the logseq graph. Protip: use icloud to sync graph between devices.

Enjoy. Or send patches. Or both.
