Nazeka is a rikai replacement.

Nazeka was the first nontrivial thing I wrote in Javascript. The code is terrible and a lot of it is bundled into a small number of files. I need help splitting it up into multiple files, or being told how to split it up into multiple first without requiring any build tools.

***Nazeka is not ready for general use yet; it does not yet have all the necessary behaviors that rikai variants have.***

# Options

Nazeka has added many options since it was first created, and they're documented within the options page. The following is an example of what options it has:

- Enabled: whether to search pages for text
- Compact: definitions on same line or with linebreaks
- Show original text: shows the string of text that nazeka used to look up a set of definitions
- Super border: add an additional level to the double border
- Fixed width: always use maximum width for popup width, don't shrink to small contents
- Search length: maximum length to search for words
- Matching mode: what kinds of alternative lookups to display
- Strict matching for alternative matches: if true, ***alternative*** lookups of hiragana strings will not produce definitions that are not at least usually kana (the longest lookup will always show all possibilities)
- Lookup popup scale: zoom factor for entire popup
- Lookup popup width: maximum width for the lookup
- Lookup throttle: minimum milliseconds between the start of lookups
- Colors: the colors of the popup
- Font override: font override for the whole popup, max priority but will fall back to default fonts for characters not in the font override
- Font override (highlighted text only): for the main spelling of a definition

# Building

Build process requires python and lxml, or an existing copy of the extension to rip JMdict#.json from.

- Download JMdict.gz from http://www.edrdg.org/jmdict/edict_doc.html
- Convert it to json with etc/process.py
- Move the output to under dict/ so that [...]/dict/JMdict1.json and others exist in that location relative to [...]/manifest.json
- Make sure every .json file is listed as available to the extension in manifest.json - if jmdict added a lot of words, there might be more than 11 files now
- Package as an extension for your browser of choice, or load it as a temporary/indev extension using your browser's development tools
