[sword-devel] Re:NET Bible (Josh Gould)

[DM Smith]

BibleDesktop (built on JSword a java implementation of the Sword API) 
runs on Window, Mac and Linux.
It uses xslt to render the modules (after converting them to OSIS if 
they are not already in that format)
into html and this xslt can be customized to handle greater complexity 
than we currently do if needed.

I'd suggest looking at it as well.
It can be downloaded from 
http://www.crosswire.org/bibledesktop/download.html.
