The HTML file has all the <idx> tag stuff in it. Those are HTML tags. The HTML file is input to the compiler, like kindlegen.

They actually aren't HTML, but Mobi-specific extensions. It's all documented here.

I donwload sample of simple_dictionary and advanced_dictionary from that site!!
There was 3 files with extension (mobi, opf and html). I start investigeting and playing with all of them and notice something!!

First, dict.txt file that is convertet with tab2opf.py have lots of html files and opf. Then when starting kindlegen it creates dictionary (this is procedure I readed in posts given here). It looks like every word is separete html file (like page break when editing ebook).
The html file from sample have all words with end code <mbpagebreak />, and all words are in just one html file. Sou is there a search/replace metod to place that code at the and of each </idx:entry> code?

Just to clarify. If I need to write inflections I write it in that one html file (simple_dictionary.html)?
