[sword-devel] mod2osis failure

[Chris Little]

Could you post the exact command you used to produce this output?

Also, please summarize what you see as problems in the output, if there 
are any other than the three I identify:

1) The schema identified is non-existent. (Easily rectified, and I'll 
attend to it when I get home.)

2) "Error reading ulBuffNum" This is an error message. It should be 
going to stderr, so I don't know why it is appearing in your output 
unless you piped both stdout & stderr to a file. I'll hunt for the bug, 
if that isn't the cause.

3) Double marking of verses (e.g. <verse osisID="Matt.1.1"><verse 
osisID="Matt.1.1" sID="Matt.1.1"/>). I have some guesses as to why this 
is happening, especially if it occurs with some but not all modules, but 
it really shouldn't happen, either way.

That said, mod2osis is as low priority as anything could possibly be. 
Its use is essentially for exporting our texts for use outside of Sword, 
which we don't support or encourage and which as often as not 
constitutes a license violation (of the content licenses). So, while I 
wouldn't mind seeing mod2osis work correctly, I'm not personally likely 
to expend much effort on it.
