XDXF in StarDict formatting issues

[soshial]

Issues:

• spaces before kref tags are removed
• \n not rendered
• no indents
• <ex> should be grey by default and with indent

Here's a gloss as Goldendict shows it (2 consequent screenshots):

And this is how we convert it to HTML (3 consequent screenshots):

Can you try with --read-options=xsl=true?

We set class=example, so you can change color in css.

Wow, now it looks much better. What did this parameter do?

How do I change the CSS? In the xdxf.xsl file?

[soshial]

For example, I found this code about DSL:

	elif tag == "ex":
		tr.output += f'<span class="ex"><font color="{tr.exampleColor}">'

Can we change the style of ex class in CSS, not inlined inside HTML?

[soshial]

I wonder why do we have 2 different transformers? And why does XSL works better? Why does it have these settings:

_gram_color: str = "green"
_example_padding: int = 10

They are unused for some reason.

I think it would be great to have some editable CSS file (for CSS classesclass="ex") that would be added to output dictionaries. It would be pretty handy when converting XDXF/StarDict/DSL into HTML-based dicts.

I tried to use the same parameter --read-options=xsl=true when converting XDXF into AardSlob and it didn't work, probably because of this bug, that XSL transformer is always overwritten by another (?):

def makeTransformer(self) -> None:
	if self._xsl:
		from pyglossary.xdxf.xsl_transform import XslXdxfTransformer
		self._htmlTr = XslXdxfTransformer(encoding=self._encoding)

	from pyglossary.xdxf.transform import XdxfTransformer
	self._htmlTr = XdxfTransformer(encoding=self._encoding)
