which html format does goldendict-ng expect from external programs to work with it?
i wrote a program that outputs html, but somehow it's not accepted by goldendict-ng
here's an example of a output by that program:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <style>
        .hakurei {
            font-size: 2rem;
            margin-bottom: 0.05em;
            margin-top: -0.2em;
            color: #1268c3;
            font-weight: normal;
        }

        .hakurei a {
            display: inline-block;
            font-weight: normal;
            color: royalblue;
            text-decoration: none;
            border-bottom: dashed max(1px, calc(1em / 16)) currentColor;
        }

        .hakurei a.hakurei-headword {
            background-color: #ddeeff;
            border-radius: 0.2rem;
            font-weight: 500;
        }

        .hakurei > ul {
            --size: 1rem;
            font-size: var(--size);
            padding-inline-start: var(--size);
            margin-block: 2px;
        }

        .hakurei .alternatives {
            --size: 1rem;
            display: grid;
            font-size: var(--size);
            gap: calc(var(--size) / 4);
            max-width: 100%;
            margin: 0 auto;
            grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(150px, 1fr));
            align-content: start;
            justify-content: space-around;
            text-align: left;
            padding: 5px 0px;
        }

        .hakurei .alternatives > ul {
            list-style-type: none;
            margin: 0;
            padding: calc(var(--size) / 4);
            background-color: hsl(0 0% 50% / 0.05);
            box-shadow: 0 0 4px hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.1);
            border-radius: 0.2rem;
        }

        .hakurei .alternatives > ul > li {
            margin-right: 1rem;
        }

        .container {
            display: flex;
            flex-wrap: wrap;
            gap: 10px;
        }

        .segment {
            display: inline-block;
        }

here's the fix:

it accepts any string, even empty.
for some reason the goldendict input is always recognized as empty...
