[sword-devel] Versification and german bible texts

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Well, it might be, but parts are also not yet done.

If you use a standard VerseKey instance to iterate a chapter, then the 
problem could be on your end, eg.

VerseKey vk;
vk.Persist(true);
module.setKey(vk);

for (int i = 0; i < 13 && !vk.Error(); i++) {
	output += module.RenderText();
	vk++;
}


In the new paradigm, a VerseKey object doesn't really live autonomously 
any more; it gets it's reference system from its module.  So code which 
would work under old and new SWORD would be:

for (int i = 0; i < 13 && !module.Error(); i++) {
	output += module.RenderText();
	module++;
}

or else, you can still grab the versekey from the module with something 
like:

VerseKey *vk = module.getKey();

and still use the key, but it will be specific for that module.

ie. there is no longer one VerseKey to rule them all.


If you'd like to help with the unfinished part, have a look at:

http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/src/mgr/versemgr.cpp

and search for: TreeKey

See the overloaded registerVersificationSystem implementation above 
which implements registering a system the old way, with a hardcoded 
array (canon.h).  The TreeKey version of this method needs to read it's 
data from the provided TreeKey instead of the static array.  You can use 
the working array impl as a starting template for the TreeKey impl.
