No stress (klemtoon) shown

[Pander]

Binary package hint: gnuvd

Both gnuvd and gnuvd-gnome (Dutch online dictionary), both version 1.0.3-1 do not show stress (klemtoon).

Example is:

gnuvd kariboe
ka|ri|boe (de ~ (m.), ~s)
1 Noord-Amerikaans rendier

while the source fo this information does display this with an underline:
  http://www.vandale.nl/opzoeken/woordenboek/?zoekwoord=kariboe

The website of gnuvd does inform that it displays stress
  http://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/gnuvd/
but it is not offered by the application.

For command-line/terminal reasons the application does not have to indicate stress with underline like the site does in HTML, bold font can also be used.

[Roel Huybrechts (rulus)]

The bug is more specific than explained above. The stress actually is shown with a ` sign, but only appears when the stress is in the first syllable of a word.

For example:

$ gnuvd kariboe
gives:
     ka|ri|boe (de ~ (m.), ~s)
     1 Noord-Amerikaans rendier
and should give:
     ka|ri|`boe (de ~ (m.), ~s)
     1 Noord-Amerikaans rendier
the relevant source of the webpage:
     <BIG>ka&#183;ri&#183;b<U>oe</U></BIG>

$gnuvd wieldop
gives:
     `wiel|dop (de ~ (m.))
     1 deksel dat de naaf van een wiel afsluit
and this is correct.
the relevant source of the webpage:
     <BIG>w<U>ie</U>l&#183;dop</BIG>

I have little knowledge about C programming, but the bug might be in the main.c file in the code block starting at line 220.

dino99, why is this bugreport incomplete?
