[sword-devel] ThML importer

[Don A. Elbourne Jr.]

When will this be available in the windows frontend?

One of the wonderful things that this will do is open the doors to
non-programmers to contribute by tagging PD books with ThML.

and just curious, are the converted files compressed? What is the size ratio
between a flat ThML file and one converted into Sword format?
