Yeah, this is
what I am really missing for a long time. Often I write
some text and want to lookup an english word (because I am from
german), that I don't know. Currently I have to use a web-browser for
this task. W3 is a nop for this because my local Dict. makes use of a
lot of html-tables, which w3 does not render fast enough (a joke;) it
takes minutes). Some time ago I started such a mode but I dropped it
because I found it that hard to parse html with elisp (my local dict
only supports html output).
Yours
