Architecture
What's under the hood after a word is queried?
After typing a word into the search box and press enter, the embedded browser will load gdlookup://localhost?word=<wantted word>. This url will be handled by Qt webengine's Url Scheme handler. The returned html page will be composed in the ArticleMaker which will initiate some DataRequest on dictionary formats. Resource files will be requested via bres:// or qrc:// which will went through a similar process.
