#545 OmegaT displays some stardict dictionaries in ugly way
OmegaT displays stardict dictionaries created by makedict with lot's of extra spaces.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a small dictionary in DSL format (you can use dsl-dic.dsl and dsl-dic.ann from the attachment as an example).
Convert it to stardict format with makedict, as described here:
http://code.google.com/p/stardict-3/wiki/ConvertLingvo
( $ ./makedict -i dsl -o stardict ./dsl-dic.dsl )
Add the resulted dictionary to sample OmegaT project.
What was expected:
Articles in dictionaries pane in a clean form (as they are shown in stardict itself), like:
term - translation1
translation2
What I saw instead:
term - term
translation1
translation2
translation3
I've created another sample stardict dictionary, now with stardict-editor tool (I've just compiled st-editor-dic.txt from the attachment), and OmegaT displayed it in a perfect way! On the screenshot (Screenshot-OmegaT-2.6.1_1 :: sample-omt-project.png) you can see the difference of OmegaT handling of 2 stardict dictionaries with the same content, one converted from DSL by makedict (that with ugly spaces between lines) and one converted with stardict editor (the one, displayed neatly, with no extra newlines). On the contrary, stardict displays the content of these dictionaries identically (Screenshot-StarDict.png).

Description of attached files:
dsl-dic.dsl and dsl-dic.ann - sample dictionary in DSL format

st-editor-dic.txt - sample tab separated file for conversion to stardict dictionary with stardict-editor
st-editor-dic.tar.bz2 - the result of compilation of tab separated file to stardict format with stardict-editor

I can reproduce the situation, and you can improve your UX with an option,
Preference > Dictioanry > Compact modethat show articles in concise way.The issue is observed with
stardict-dsl-dic-2.4.2dictionary that is made from DSL dict by makedict 0.4.1-beta1.The tool mkaedict seems made as a part of
XDXFproject from a description of the tool wiki page.Stardict have an internal format, TEXT, HTML , XDXF or others. Because you use XDXF tool to convert, the file may be created with XDXF format.
When you create stardict filie from TSV, the result has internal format TEXT.
The bug is reported on OmegaT 1.6.
OmegaT 6.0.1 and 6.1.0 or later use new stardict parser and XDXF processor. It handles properly each internal formats.
The observation is same as the screen capture here,
By observed with debugger, I found the problematic dictionary has a XDXF content
and we show it on the dictionary pane in default as
You can see
blockquotein the contents, that make space between wordsWhen compact mode is enabled, OmegaT 6.1.0 handles it as
<span>lots of meaningless words in english or some other language with absolutely no meaning</span>This is not a problem on OmegaT but on the convert tool .
OmegaT 6.0.1 and later provide a solution to use compact mode.
Your DSL source is bad.
It defined THREE meanings of word. You want these as single description, so you should make file to be like
