Add alternates to tab delimited dictionary

Magvidal · 02-25-2015, 09:09 AM

Hi,
How can i add alternates to a tab delimited dictionary?, i mean: for the entry 'add' being able to look up by selecting "added" or "adding".
Thanks in advance.

Those are inflections, and you cannot do it with tab-delimited dictionaries. You need to edit the opf+html form.

Here is one thread that discusses it.

Thanks for your reply,

I've never messed around with dictionaries, so I don't know much about them.

Perhaps you can take a look at what tab2opf spits out, you will need to then extend each entry with inflections as described in the above link.
