After my previous post on attempting to edit the Oxford Advanced Learners stardict format - I first tried to edit the .dict file directly but even removing a couple of characters breaks the penelope conversion :O
Instead, I edited the penelope format_stardict.py script directly since I'm much more familiar with python. You can edit the definition variable in the read_single_file() function using regex expressions. I tidied up the extraneous references to .jpg and .wav files, fixed the line and tab spacing etc.
The result is a lovely dictionary (I used to have it on my old kindle in mobi format) that provides a simplified definition for a wide variety of words. I often use it when the default dictionary definition is particularly obtuse, but it's also fantastic for English language learners (as the name would suggest) because it contains a lot of extra info and examples for more common or tricky words. Highly recommend it
I still don't know if I can just post the finished dicthtml.zip file here, but to be safe I'll just say that if you're interested send me a PM
