- Fix links to wikipedia pages containing '?oldid=123', that
wouldn't work when used back thru the API.
- Make external links to other wikipedias with a different langage
work (they didn't work when non-ascii page titles)
- Speedup download of images by using a newly added 'fast_refresh'
option to Trapper:info() to bypass UIManager.
This module provides methods for simple interaction with UI, without
the need for explicit callbacks, for use by linear jobs between
their steps.
Uses coroutines, but their usage is hidden by a simple API.
Factored out of Wikipedia:createEpubWithUI().
Also for the current text-only wikipedia full page: replace
the ==s in section titles with some unicode symbols for a better
visual feeling of hierarchy. These same symbols are also used
in the .epub.
Both can be disabled by adding ["wikipedia_prettify"] = false
to settings.reader.lua
readerhighlight: close ButtonTable (like other buttons do) when looking
up wikipedia, otherwise if we save as epub, and swtich to new document,
this ButtonTable will never be closed and stays in UI.
Stardict:
- remove duplicate results
- better cleaning of selection
- append results from a 2nd query of a 2nd set of dictionaries
in data/dict_ext/
Wikipedia:
- use the search API for better results
- allow viewing the full page content of a result in a bigger window
- allow queries for multiple languages
- available languages can be set in settings.reader.lua :
["wikipedia_languages"] = {"en", "fr", "it"}
- "Wikipedia lookup" added to Tools menu
For both:
- allow selection of multiple words for a new lookup (so one can
actually browse wikipedia)
- allow continuous reading with Tap
- display "current result / total number of results"
Details in #2393
The VFAT file system of `/mnt/us` is case insensitive so that
require("json") from Spore which intends to load luajson module in
rock directory actually will load `frontend/JSON.lua`, the two JSON
parser libraries have slightly different APIs.
This patch remove the pure Lua JSON library in favor of `luajson` which
uses LPeg pattern marching backend for better performance.
Since wikipedia server is language specific we should first detect
language of the text by querying Google Translate. Make sure you have
access to both Google Translate and Wikipedia service to use this
function.
