Re: Editing the Dictionary
Thinking more about this, the Quality Control center can already be used to request updates to the dictionary via an enhancement request.

Re: Editing the Dictionary
Can you give an example? I've found that every new token or enhancement always has an entry. I admit some of them are a bit spare though. Which one(s) are lagging?richmond62 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2023 11:51 amThe 'eternal' problem with the Dictionary is that it lags behind the state of the IDE and the language.

Re: Editing the Dictionary
No I was not saying that, although I think that could be made to happen via a bit of editing the IDE scripts so that it pulls updates from files on GitHub.
What I was describing is the process for building the dictionary files, that then need to be added to the IDE's documentation folder, where the IDE reads them and then generates a cache of web pages for display in the dictionary stack (Browser Widget).
When LC was "an open-source company", I did submit some dictionary changes to their repo, and it was kind of a tedious process.
