This project is a dictionary for the Warhammer 40k universe, based on the Lexicanum website. It is intended to be used on Kindles, but can be used on any device that supports MOBI files.
The dictionary is automatically generated after parsing and filtering a dump of allpages of the Lexicanum website. The dictionary is then converted into a MOBI file using Amazon's kindlegen.exe
tool.
It offers support for inflections, based on redirects of a page. For example, the page "Neverborn" redirects to "Daemon". By highlighting either word, one would be able to see the same definition.

In order to obtain the latest version of the dictionary, you can download the latest release here.
Connect your kindle via USB, open the documents
folder and paste the MOBI file into the dictionaries
folder. It should be available for use after that.
If you already have an older version and wish to update, simply delete the old MOBI file and paste the new one in its place. Then restart your Kindle.
Note that, the pre-releases are always the latest version of the dictionary, but may not be stable and can also have bigger filesizes due to no compression.
cargo install
Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/JCalebBR/LectitioLexicanus.git
Run cargo run --release
to obtain the latest version of the Lexicanum Dump. This will create a file called filtered-output.jsonl
which will be used to create the dictionary. This will create a file called content.html
in the dict
directory, which will be the contents of the dictionary.
Note that this will take approximately 5 minutes
cargo run --release
Run kindlegen.exe
to create the MOBI file. This will create a file called dict.mobi
in the dict
directory, which will be the dictionary.
kindlegen.exe dict/dict.opf -c2 -verbose -dont_append_source
