Re: [be] Creating a Sword module error message

Hi Teus,

    I'm curious to know what your four different flavours are. I can think of three obvious ones:
1/ Crosswire usfm2osis.py
2/ Crosswire usfm2osis.pl
3/ Your own.
So what's #4?

    I have something similar at the Bible Drop Box -- see (slightly out-of-date) demo output here. I also run #1-3 above, although I patch usfm2osis.py so that it no longer locks up without finishing if it detects an error. (I also need to learn about that timeout command that you mentioned in another email.)

    Is it possible to run your own Bibledit export (presumably #3 above) from the command line?

Blessings,
Robert.

Hi Phil,

Thank you for the PB_TSI USFM data.

It is indeed the crosswire people who are maintaining the stuff to create Sword modules.

A solution for your problem, or a work-around, might be in the newest development version bibledit-web. It has a feature, completed this afternoon, to export the USFM to OSIS and to a Sword module. It uses the tools provided by the Crosswire Bible Society. It creates four flavours of OSIS, and consequently also four flavours of Sword modules. Hopefully one or two will behave better for you than what you see now. The ones that are definitely supposed to work are the flavours that remove all non-canonical stuff like headings and introductions, and remain with the clear verse text only, without any footnotes also. It remains with just the pure Word of God only.

The development version of bibledit-web depends on some more prerequisites, as listed here:

Getting the code of the development version, and install it, is described here:

But it's about Bibledit-Gtk. For Bibledit-Web, change the step about "cd gtk" to "cd web".

I hope that this help you getting the text displayed in Xiphos, in Bibletime, and in the Android AndBible

Regards,

Teus.
