First, the stardict version of Wordweb was downloaded from huzheng.org, or here.

Out of the box, there are two issues.

(1) KOReader strips all of the html tags. This is probably due to poor html format within the dictionary file. I did some research, and used a sample html fix from Github, @poire-z, or here

It's not perfect, as it cuts off half of the content, but at least it's better looking...

(2) the second issue is that, as you can see from the screenshot, even though I only selected one word, "ends", it popped out 17 words, only the 7th one was the correct one. For example, the second one was "cease". All the words are similar words as the word "end".

Does anyone know how to fix these issues? thank you!
(1) See the attached file, change extension to .lua only.
(2) This is a known issue, I think: https://github.com/Dushistov/sdcv/issues/89
