@guerrilla: we already forked sdcv anyway :-) Thank you very much for the report!
@barobach_so: The PDF reflow engine isn't based on text rendering of any kind: It takes a visual approach and works on a rendered image of a page in the PDF, reordering what it finds in there. As in: There's a bunch of pixels that constitute a word (with some probability), and a few words in a row are a line.
The dictionary doesn't do HTML. I planned to implement it at some point, but simply do not have any spare time for the coming months.
This is not android software. Also, it doesn't use libICU. There is no sophisticated text layout engine. Given the amount of work it takes to implement one or even integrate an existing one, don't expect this problem to be solved soon. There aren't that many developers and there time is, unfortunately, scarce. A friendly invitation goes to anyone who wants to help, though. But mainly, this means writing code.
