Re: [edict-jmdict] example sentences on word page

It surprises me too.

It would be relatively easy to add a [T] link to those examples
too. The question is whether I should. I'm trying to declutter
the main dictionary display, and putting a [T] link option in there
is trending back to more clutter.

IMO, [F] vs. [T][F] isn't much of a change in the clutter of the page and I think it's a useful feature.


Getting a word-by-word gloss of one of those examples is just a
matter of highlight-copy- click-paste, so I think I'll hold off unless
there is a lot of demand for it.

Really?? I'm surprised. For some reason I thought the example sentences had more info stored with them than just the simple text and that this was used when you parsed the sentence using the [T] function. For instance I assumed that they had the correct definition for a given hiragana spelling of a word rather than all the possibilities. As usual, the more I learn the less I know.

Interesting...

Thanks anyway.
