qdict

Preface

About a month ago I started to play with QT. I just wanted to quickly pick some random subject and begin instead of waiting for a big idea and doing nothing.

The main idea is a GUI for dict. Edit field, output layout, nothing fancy, trying to be as minimalistic as possible.

Features

• Html (formatted) layout of dict for better readablility
• The entry field is a combobox which stores the previous entries
• Parsing the gcide hits for lists, notes and links.
• Unit tests for some core functions
