Hyperlinks within dictionary don't work

Thorns · 10-19-2024, 08:17 AM

I have a dictionary (see attached) in stardict format which works great on koreader, however the hyperlinks within the dictionary don't seem to work. E.g. under the word "eu" there's a link which says "see avoir" with "avoir" hyperlinked. If I press this it shows "not found", however if i search for avoir, it is in the dictionary.

If i open the stardict file within goldendict then it works fine, and hyperlinks work - so I think it's a KOreader thing, but I'm not sure how to diagnose it.

Anyone have any ideas?

I've published it here.

I don't think any hyperlinks are supported within KOReader's dictionary viewer. However, you can long-press any word, including this one, and it will just launch a new query and you'll get to the article that way. (For multiple words, like compound words, you will have to long press the first word, and then pan over the other words. The query is started once you lift the finger. There is no visual feedback, so it could take some practice to get used to.)

The link in question looks like:

Code:

<a href="bword:// avoir"><font color="black"><b><span> </span>avoir</b></font></a>

That's not currently supported.

Many thanks. Is it just that link that isn't supported or all links? If it's just that, what would I need to change to make it supported?

I assume all links aren't supported but within the context of a dictionary there's not really any other link that would be relevant.
