My wife and I are team members of a minority Bible translation that we
have received permission to proceed with the final stages of preparing a
SWORD module for and a GoBible module. I don't completely understand
how versification works. In the Sword module things work pretty well.
Our translation of Matthew 1 has verse numberings that go like this: 1,
2-6, 7-11, 12-16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. In Sword it is
currently displayed like this: 1, 2, 7, 12, 17, 18, etc. It would be
preferable if I could get it to display like the first set, but that
isn't so big of a problem.
However in GoBible I have a major problem because it displays like this:
1,2 (represents 2-6), 3 (represents 7-11), 4 (represents 12-16), 5 (17),
6 (18), and so on.
Did I make myself clear? Is there anything I can do to keep the GoBible
looking pretty but not have people look for a certain verse reference
and find out that it is several verses off because of how we have
combined some verses due to translation practice?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks
