[sword-devel] Re Persian Bible

[vkaehne at doctors.org.uk]

The format is unclear to me . The Bible is not a validated XML format, no header etc. I understand it is the XML dump of paratext, a programme used for Bible translation within Wycliff.

There are as far as i could see so far only 5 or 6 different tags used throughout the whole Bible and those are pretty ubiquitous, but it could well be OSIS. However, I believe a simple search and replace should be enough to tarnsfer these few different tags into whatever format would be useful.

<scripture>
<book value="Gen">
<id>GEN</id>
<mt>pedaiesh</mt>
<chapter value="1">
<s>afarinesh</s>
<verse value="1">Dar ebtedah khoda osmanha va zamin ra afarid </verse>
<verse value="2"> ...

I transliterated the Farsi text for easier use.

Peter
