[sword-devel] Questions about making module from usual book text

Fri Oct 13 08:27:11 MST 2006

Dear Troy!
Thank you very much. Finaly with your help and the help of searching archive for october I managed to make sword 1.5.9, and already made first book from CCEL as a test.
After weekend I want to proceed with Russian book.
Is it possible to have categories not like /Books/English/[name of the book], but also something like this /Books/[Language]/[Author]/[Name of the book] or /Books/[Author]/[Name of the book]?

Thank you!
Serhiy
