Code:
<html>
<body>

<idx:entry>
	<b><idx:orth>book
	<idx:infl>
		<idx:iform value="books"/>
	</idx:infl>
	</idx:orth> </b> 
	<i>Subst.</i> <br/>
	Buch (n)
</idx:entry>
<br/><br/>
<hr/>

<idx:entry>
	<b><idx:orth>go
	<idx:infl>
		<idx:iform value="goes"/>
		<idx:iform value="going"/>
		<idx:iform value="went"/>
		<idx:iform value="gone"/>
	</idx:infl>
	</idx:orth> </b> 
	<i>Verb</i> <br/>
	gehen
</idx:entry>
<br/><br/>

</body>
</html>
For more information, see the mobipocket.com web site. If your source data is tab-delimited, you can use the instructions on this web site to automatically generate the source files for your dictionary.
Hi,
I have an error in the command window to execute command “”tab2opf.exe dict.exe”"

” Traceback : (most recent call last):
File “tab2opf.py”, line 240, in (module)
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack”

Please tell me what am I doing wrong…

In the site of mobipocket I did not find any suggestions...
