[sword-devel] Module making (with Strong's number & footnotes)

[Troy A. Griffitts]

the imp and vpl import tools don't know about markup, they just use 
whatever markup you have in your file and put that markup untouched in 
the module.  Your .conf file tells the engine what markup is in your 
module.  An example from kjv.conf:

SourceType=GBF
Lang=en
GlobalOptionFilter=GBFFootnotes
GlobalOptionFilter=GBFStrongs
GlobalOptionFilter=GBFMorph

This tells the engine that your base markup is GBF tags.  It also adds 
option filters that allow toggling of certain tags on or off.

Hope this helps.  Please report any bugs if you are having troubles with 
a certain tag.  We try to support these specifications to the extend 
that we have modules that need them.  We don't claim to fully support 
all tags of any of the markup specs for which we have code.  You can add 
support fairly easy for new tags in the sword/src/modules/filters/ 
directory.
