[SOLVED] Urban Dictionary dsl to StarDict

Hey guys I'm trying to convert this apparently self-made Urban Dictionary dsl file to StarDict format but I run into the following problem:

% grep compdi ~/.bashrc
alias compdict='makedict -i dsl -o stardict'
% compdict *.dsl
Icon is found: Urban Dictionary (En-En).bmp
Reading: Urban Dictionary (En-En).ann
Saving result to this directory: ./stardict-Urban Dictionary
(En-En)-2.4.2
Writing index to ./stardict-Urban Dictionary (En-En)-2.4.2/Urban
Dictionary (En-En).idx
Writing data to ./stardict-Urban Dictionary (En-En)-2.4.2/Urban
Dictionary (En-En).dict
Invalid key, there are no </opt>: K: l&lt; or l<opt> or l{ or l&lt;=

which doesn't really tell me anything at all! It's like I have no idea whatsoever what to do with this. Perhaps you could help somehow?

I did check for <opt> tags left open but there seemed to be none. Then again this dsl file is ~1Gb large, pure ASCII data (!) so chances are I may have missed something

Well thought I'd post it here and see if there are any people knowledgeable about this sort of stuff at all

Re: [SOLVED] Urban Dictionary dsl to StarDict

Well, thanks to a StarDict's developer tip I tackled this issue. In fact the file contained special ASCII symbols, probably due to Windows line ending, and so I had to remove them in order to compile the dictionary. Solved.
