Thank you, Kovid! Glad to hear it is possible, you made my day!

Analyzing lookup.js, I understand the rationale behind the code. That's indeed what I need. For overrides though, do I need to create a JavaScript file similar to `lookup.js` per dictionary? I've already created a resources directory under ~/.config/calibre (using Linux) but not sure what to do next. I have several dictionary sources I'd like to apply my CSS rules to.

EDIT 1: I'll experiment with extending the existing JS code to accommodate CSS rules for another dictionary resource in the same file. And will report back...

EDIT 2: I think I'm doing something wrong here, as the code fails to hide any HTML elements: https://pastebin.com/4LQVgcLH
