[WIP] Add support for Latin dicts #7

Closed ymarco closed 3 years ago

ymarco commented 4 years ago

Of the format used in https://nikita-moor.github.io/dictionaries/dictionaries.html . Currently only Lewis 1890 was tested, I'm planning to add a Latin-English one as well

ymarco commented 4 years ago

In the last commit, the following dictionaries are supported:

 | Dictionary's name                              | type          | Word count |
 |------------------------------------------------+---------------+------------|
 | Index verbōrum, Appleton (1914)                | latin latin   |       2183 |
 | An Elementary Latin Dictionary, Lewis (1890)   | latin english |      17582 |
 | Hand-book of Latin Synonymes, Döderlein (1875) | latin english |        556 |
 | A Latin Dictionary, Lewis & Short (1879)       | latin english |      51596 |
 | Glossarium Anglico-Latinum, Redmond (2005)     | english latin |      10867 |

I'll delete Döderlein and Lewis 1890 if I could confirm that they don't new words to add on Lewis & Short.

The last commits converted from regex-based parsing to using libxml, which is much cleaner

Ready yet? :stuck_out_tongue:

I've been using it for a while without any issues. I'll take a last look at the code in a few days to see if it needs any cleaning, but otherwise, yes!

tecosaur commented 3 years ago

Lovely!

:eyes:

I'm yet to do the IDs we talked about. In a few days.

tecosaur commented 3 years ago

NP, I just assume other people are as bad as I am when it comes to these things. Also, I'd rather not introduce a merge conflict if master develops too much.

tecosaur commented 3 years ago

Oops, sorry. I just wanted to shut up the byte-compiler.

It's just shunting all the defvar blocks to the start of the file, so it shouldn't be too bad though.

BenedictHW commented 3 years ago

Looking forwards to this feature!

tecosaur and I decided to not merge this.

My code basically parses HTML to an Emacs buffer according to CSS rules that I hard-coded manually. It works in the general case, but there are many edge cases (where the result is still usable mind you) that I'm not willing to code.

So, we decided to keep it on my branch, to avoid being responsible for all these minor things. You're free to try it yourself, but it won't get anywhere official. That's it.
