3. cut unzip/out/ to convert/*/.
4. copy DefaultStyle.css and Images/ (if exist) to convert/*/
5. run MacDic2html.exe.
6. You get out.html.

New dictionary

If you couldn't find matching folder in convert/ in Basic

3. make a directory and name it dictionary/ (or whatever).
4. copy MacDic2html.exe and unzip/out/ to dictionary/ from any of convert/*/.
5. make DictionaryStyle.css in dictionary/.
6. edit DictionaryStyle.css.

it will typically be

span.hg{headWordGroup:true;}
span.hw{key:headword;}
span.hg span.hv{key:headword;}

It depends on html structure to convert, so check some files in /out/
