[sword-devel] Questions about usfm2osis.pl

[johnduffy at cgcf.net]

I've some questions on usfm2osis.pl.  

Does usfm2osis.pl process USFM \q quotation marks?  Bibledit converts them
to paragraph marks, but I would be keen to keep them as quotation markup in
the osis file, if possible.

If usfm2osis.pl does keep the quotation markup without converting it into
paragraphs, there is another problem, which was why I've gone down the
bibledit route instead.  It hasn't worked for me or for Daniel Owens in
Windows.  Is there a known issue with it?  I downloaded it on 9 Sept 2009
from http://crosswire.org/ftpmirror/pub/sword/utils/perl/usfm2osis.pl

It takes less than a second to process, and results in an 8-line Osis xml
document which consists of only a header.  The script processes and
comments:
Endoding "utf8" is supported.
Processing USFM/*.sfm.
Doing some cleanup.
Tagging quotations.
All done! OSIS file: bible.osis.xml

Thanks

I add support for markers as I need them and Chris does the same only at 
a more accomplished level. Others do the same.

At the core usfm2osis.pl is not something written into stone but needs 
adaption as per texts encountered. For someone like me with still miniml 
Perl knowledge the important part is that it is there as a good 
structure allowing rapid addition when required.

Most USFM markers appear to  have corresponding OSIS markup, even if not 
by necessity in a direct 1:1 translation marker -> tag.
