[sword-devel] thml2gbs

[Joachim Ansorg]

There's a Perl script which converts the ThML to a format which can be 
converted directly into a module.

I think the perl script works better than imp2gbs.
The URL should be http://www.web42.com/software/sword/ccel2imp/. The tool 
imp2gbs converts the resulting text into a Sword module.
