Why don't you just look for already made english-greek stardict dictionaries? You surely would found some and can choose to use more than one.

I'll keep on searching... But I found several links that was removed...

The only files that matches with stardict are here: http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...-quick-eng-gre
I will stuck on this one, but I'm afraid the possible fact that quick-eng-gre have fewer words than en-gr.dict of my nickel...
Anyway, I will keep that file for now...
Thanks, Alan_S!

I think that I converted the English_Greek dictionary from the files found here.
If you can't access them, I can upload them for you.

Embryo, you're amazing!!!!!!
Exactly what I was looking for! 54814 words count! Excellent!
I'm very grateful!
Thanks a lot!

I have dictionaries installed and working properly in koreader. But I can't figure out how to get Wikipedia to work. When I highlight a phrase (which is definitely in Wikipedia) and tap 'Wikipedia' the result is always "No wiki page found." I have verified that wifi is enabled.

Should this feature be working in koreader "out of the box" or is there some setting I need to tweak to enable it? Do I need to download an offline version of Wikipedia?

Thank you.

Hello, again.

I trying to figure out how the render css styles works in Koreader...
All of my books are made in Calibre and Sigil with the basic css styles, removing blank lines between paragraphs but also -manually- keeps a blank line between scenes.
My custom css code for every empty line is:



or

 

In Nickel my books seems as I expected, with a blank line where I want for a new scene, but in Koreader the blank lines are disappeared. I thought that Koreader works that way, removing all the blank lines between paragraphs and I start the experiment with enabling the Embedded Styles, changing all the available render styles of Koreader, with no luck.
I copied a Style.css of Calibre book in <data> folder of Koreader, I choose that as render style, with no luck, either...
My last hope is to change the with ———
My blank lines changes to slash -____- , but is not that I'm looking for. In that case I need to applied that code in all of my books and I don't have so much time and patience for that.

Is there an easy solution for that I want to achieve?
I love reading my epubs on Koreader and I don't want to change to Nickel only for that reason.

Thnx!

It used to work, but indeed at the moment it doesn't seem to. I'll investigate.

CoolReader is used for HTML/EPUB, so I'm not sure about it's precise capabilities. However, note that you didn't post any CSS, only some HTML.

Would you happen to have a sample file to play with?

The problem was simply that Wikipedia switched from HTTP exclusively to HTTPS. It'll probably be fixed by the next nightly build.

If you don't want to wait, you can add the "s" to the urls in:

koreader/frontend/ui/Wikipedia.lua

Be sure to use Notepad++ or some other editor that will keep the proper end of line code.

Luck;
Ken

Thanks Frenzie, for the heads up.

You know, you're right.
I send a sample of some HTML applied in my epubs that defines the blank lines / changing scenes.
I uploaded a sample of one of my ebooks (scanned from original book, then formatted in calibre and finally in Sigil, adding the  variable to define every blank lines between brake scenes).
The results work great in Nickel, but not in Koreader or Cool Reader. The KR and CR ignore the blank lines...
Unfortunately my sample is on Greek language and I don't know if you find that useful to understand what I mean... Only look the variables... Works great in ADE and Calibre view as the Nickel.
Thanks for your reply!!!!

P.S. One variable that works great is the <h1></h1>. But in that case I have to apply that on all of my books... So hard work and little time...

Thanks Frenzie and Ken, that explains it.

CoolReader's behavior on this one is correct per spec (NB CoolReader powers the HTML/EPUB display in KOReader as well). The paragraph is empty, so it has no height and its margins should collapse with its surroundings. A human-readable summary can be found here.

Pragmatically, it's probably easiest to go for a CSS-only solution. You don't want to mess with your .calibre7 style by itself, because it seems to be used for italicizing, but you could add a height to your specific P-element with that class.

Code:

p.calibre7 {height:1em}

Another solution is to make sure the P-element is not empty, e.g. with a non-breaking space. While this would require modifying your files, it should be easily automated.

Code:

<p class="calibre7">&nbsp;</p>

And just to be a pain, I think that most correctly scenes should be marked up as such, for example using something like:

Code:

<div class="scene">
…
</div>

Or in EPUB3/HTML5, maybe something like:

Code:

<section>
…
</section>

Subsequently, you could use a style like:

Code:

section {margin-top:1em}

Better markup also makes styling easier. That's it for my nitpicking. Just use the CSS I opened with. :P

WolfBack · 08-24-2015, 07:19 PM

Frenzie you're my master!
I will start experiment with one by one solutions you gave me and I'll be back with the results!
Finally, I think changing my epubs is not so much of work to do. In every of them I gave a <calibre7> ... var and I think the "replace as" do the trick almost automatic! (at least in Calibre... If I'll change anything in Sigil, I will lost my TOC's...

)
Thank you very much!!!!

Do remember that calibre7 need not always be the same CSS.

Yeap, Peter, you're right!

Franzie, the code above do the trick as I wanted!
I apply that code in all of my books with calibre and the Koreader sees the non-breaking space (nbsp) as scene break!
Thank you again!
