It might also be possible to build a copy of the English Wiktionary, which may not be authoritative, but is probably fairly complete: http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiktionary/latest/

I've never used BD to prepare a TOC so don't know what to expect here. I don't mind working with HTML, so I might gives this a go (and finish what I started so long ago). How would you like that two-tiered TOC to function? Was my idea similar? Any tips/ideas would be helpful. |

Nick, I thought I would tell you that I tried BD one more time. After 2 hours, BD puked and reported that it couldn't convert the file. Sorry. I have no ideas except perhaps to look for another public domain dictionary that's smaller.

I used Mobipocket Creator to produce a 29MB .prc using standard compression and it looked good. I replaced my footer TOC with a simple inline TOC as the first page. I then tried high compression but it was taking too long (almost two hours). I aborted it since it took over my machine and I need to use my computer. I'll try again with a better TOC structure. Alas, I don't have any hardware device to test it. I haven't tried calibre yet; but will do so when I'm done with the new TOC. Oh, btw, I've used this dictionary (about 25MB) on my REB1200 reader and EBW1150 reader without problems. And they say my hardware is obsolete... : pfff : Last edited by nrapallo; 10-03-2008 at 10:08 PM. |

At the end of the process, one could join the files together, maybe into one huge volume, but perhaps into several smaller ones. (I am not volunteering for this. As soon as I've recovered a bit, I've got the Supplemental volumes of the 1001 Nights on my to-do list.) |

Next, all I'll have to do is pick an unused tag and then specify/place it at every tier-two point. Re-run the 'Add T0C' and use that revised TOC.html. BTW, I then just took those TOC entries from the TOC.html and placed them in the main .html at the beginning i.e. inline TOC. I then discarded the separate TOC.html file. Quote:

You guys are just too kind.
And too modest. We all remember your work too. |

I've posted a portion of the 1913 Webster's dictionary (letter 'A' only) in the upload section. For those who were interested, please give this a try and let me know if you really think it's useful. For example, try looking up a particular word (e.g., 'accomodation') and let me know how many steps it took you. Remember that the words and definitions are from a hundred years ago.

This is an intriguing feature. For .epub ebooks, does the hieracrchical TOC need to be explicitly created or does the Sony PRS-505 assign them to the number keys "on the fly"? If the former, how could I get the 1913 Webster's Dictionary I converted to .epub, using your html2epub, to navigate my table of contents links using the number buttons for quicker navigation. VR mentions here that it's slow using the joystick. Any suggestions? Thanks for your valuable .epub support! |

Numbers are automatically assigned. The TOC items are displayed 10 entries by 10 entries.
