感谢分享！这种EPWING格式词典可以在 GD 上使用。但是我总觉得MDX 格式可以把图片与文字分开好，通过解开MDD可以看到书里的插图，尤其可以知道百科词典里的插图都有什么。看图也是一种学习。还是希望有人能帮这种EPWING格式转变成MDX格式。 ---

hello, thanks for the response but this is not what i was asking… I’m aware of the capabilities of goldendict-ng , i do have the epistularum collection (i even host them) and I’m also aware of the goldendict-ng article in tatsumoto’s website , since I’m a former contributor. i have a medical dictionary in epwing and i wish i could turn it into mdx , to add some styling and some other stuff, since mdx/mdict is a better format. ---

exactly , mdx has more capabilities when we talk about appearance , that’s why i asked if it’s possible to turn a epwing into mdx ---

I an not interested in this, know nothing about this topic. Just Google.

请使用官方的[EBDump](https://ebstudio.info/home/EBDump.html)导出数据，用其他第三方的软件都会有格式乃至条目的损失。 导出的数据都是文本格式（plain-text），所以需要再处理。 图片和字体的处理，则请参考下面这篇，里面代码虽然有问题，但思路是对的—— [词库制作中可能有用的软件、技术整理[201710919] - 词库制作交流区 - Dictionary-Making - PDAWIKI](https://www.pdawiki.com/forum/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=11016&pid=174285) ---

其实就是类似处理单色图的思路： 原数据 “narrow”——8x16 `{"bitmap":[0,0,0,16,56,16,0,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,0,0],"code":41250}` 每个数字转成二进制图案就是 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ “wide”——16x16 `{"bitmap":[0,0,0,0,31,248,16,8,31,248,31,248,0,80,0,72,31,252,16,80,30,88,18,112,18,48,46,246,97,156,65,0],"code":53039}` 就是 ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜⬛⬜⬛⬛⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬛⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜⬛⬜⬛⬛⬛⬜⬛⬛⬛⬛⬜⬛⬛⬜ ⬜⬛⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜⬛⬛⬜⬜⬛⬛⬛⬜⬜ ⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬛⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜ 补全文件头，转写成存为bmp格式就好了。 ---

ignoring the rudeness, yes I’ve already turned a yomichan dictionary into a mdx, you can see in the JP-PT dictionary here at the forum. this is a very tiresome process and we must seek better ways of doing things (and again, if you’re not interested , then why replying in the topic?) anyway, someone already answered with some proper information, i wouldn’t be asking in the forum if i already didn’t had googled it. ---

I gave it a try and did it. It’s interesting to decode those binary labels. I also replaced the image-typed characters into the corresponging letters. ![image](https://forumcdn.freemdict.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/4/446eade3d560a4a5e1254c5bdc62fefe8af8174f.png) [swedish-english.rar](https://forum.freemdict.com/uploads/short-url/n2LTm2mMGl4g3tIkm8yuC8FGmaG.rar) (4.1 MB) It’s a quick job so perhaps there exist errors. And the css file is from the original data – it could be further improved. I have learned that there are at least two ways to turn the epwing files into text, and EBDump is one of them. ---
