Thanks.

I'll take a look.  If the plan is for NuVoc to be the main source
going forwards, perhaps a dump could be bundled with the IDE?  Local
help (that launches quickly) is nice to have.

My main issue with NuVoc is that (I find) the primitives table hard to
read, due in part to colouring (black on purple, red isn't very
contrastive) and in part to padding (I can see approx 2/3 of the
original dictionary page on my 13" laptop, vs. roughly 1/3 on the
wiki).  NuVoc's font size is also---to my eyes---too small, though
increasing it with the current layout makes the screen estate issue
even worse.

(It would be useful to learn whether these issues are peculiar to me.)
