Overview

Wikit - A universal dictionary

What is it?

To be short, Wikit is a tool which can (fully, may be in future) render and create dictionary file in MDX/MDD format.

This project is in very early stage, but you can try this demo online or download electron wrapped client from here Releases.

Why it?

MDX/MDD is a popular closed-source dictionary format which you can find many dictionaries made by a variety of folks on pdawiki or freedict. All of this should give appreciations to the hero of xwang which firstly released full reverse-engineering analysis of MDX/MDD format, which you can find here.

Several reasons make me write this project

I am a heavy user of dictionary since I often read english books or papers
For what I can tell now, no project about MDX/MDD is actively maintained
No platform-agnostic, user-friendly, fully-opensourced and free dictionary for now
I love rust programming

Development

Firstly, you should familiar with MDX/MDD format which can be found at here. For MDX 2.0, you may be also interested in the following illustraion (you can view it in fullscreen here):

Secondly, download a MDX/MDD dictionary from anywhere and save it to somewhere, run the following command to do quick and dirty development

TEST_MDX_FILE=/path/to/mdx cargo test test_parse_mdx -- --nocapture

Finally, turn your thoughts into codes and make the contributions, cool developer!

Roadmap

MDX 2.0 parsing
MDX 2.0 writing
MDX 1.2 parsing and writing

Wikit 词典格式提案

wikit.db: sqlite 格式

  一共三列, 如下所示

      key, value_offset, value_size

  这里的 key 必须是唯一的不能重复的, 其值可以是单词, 图片名称, 音频名称,
  value_offset 和 value_size 分别表示对应值在 wikit.data 中的偏移地址和大小,
  比如当 key 为单词时, value_offset 就表示其释义在 wikit.data 中的偏移地址以及释义长度,
  当 key 为图片名称时, value_offset 就表示图片在 wikit.data 中的偏移地址及图片大小.

wikit.cache: 用户查询缓存, 也就是 wikit.db 的一个子集

wikit.data: binary

  meanings[0], meanings[1], ...
  imagns[0], images[1], ...
  audios[0], audios[1], ...

Question about mdx 2.0

Hi,

I noticed the README mentioned the original mdx structure described by Xiaoqiang Wang and something called mdx 2.0. Is Xiaoqiang Wang's description considered 1.0? What's the difference between them? I'm a little confused as mdx is a pretty old file type and the original author started using a newer version in his mdict program several years ago. But the file structure of that version hasn't been reverse-engineered. Is mdx 2.- refer to this newer file format?

Thanks.

Does not run on Wayland natively

Because global shortcuts is only supported on X11. See: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tao/issues/248

Is there a way to disable global shortcuts as a workaround?
