NOTE: Primarily personal project, use if you like.
This plugin takes a query and looks up said query in a given online dictionary. It does this by scraping the website and presenting the definition neatly in the right sidebar of Obsidian. It is relatively straightforward to develop new scrapers and buttons, too, see tutorials SCRAPER_TUTORIAL.md and BUTTON_TUTORIAL.md
| Dictionary | Website | Language | Process |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elementary Lewis | http://perseus.tufts.edu/hopper | Latin | Lookup |
| Lewis & Short | http://perseus.tufts.edu/hopper | Latin | Lookup |
| latinlexicon.org | http://latinlexicon.org | Latin | Wordlist |
| ordnet.dk | http://ordnet.dk | Danish | Lookup |
| en-academic.com | https://en-academic.com/ | Greek | Wordlist |
Enter the word you want to look up - if word is found, definition will be returned.
A list of words matching the query will be returned. Click on the desired word to get definition.
