[sword-devel] OSIS example

Sun Mar 4 19:07:36 MST 2012

OK Guys,

I spent a little time on this tonight.

I've reworked OSISHeadings to be sane.  It was an old filter and parsed 
everything manually; it had never been updated to extend and take 
advantage of SWBasicFilter.  It is much shorter and fairly well 
commented now.  I'm not promising it works, but it should be readable by 
anyone who wants to tweak it.

In fact, I may have broken everything :)  So please test.  Or it may 
just work for both old style and new style preverse chunks-- that was my 
goal.

Karl, I tried it on the new KJV and got stuff out from RenderText.

Daniel, it outputs stuff from your OSIS Reference module.  I'm not sure 
it's the right stuff :)

I started an OSIS test in our testsuite.  It starts by creating a module 
from our new OSIS Reference document and then proceeds to run a single 
test to check if RenderText will output something from the preverse div 
in Ps.3.1.

Hope this is a good start.

Troy

However, both support parallel titles (for synoptic passages in the Gospels) and canonical psalm titles (as does BPBible). But BibleTime, Xiphos, and BibleCS simply do not display the text of Canonical psalm titles. That is a severe bug.

I guess now at least module creators can know what features are likely to work well, but it would be nice if front-ends worked on supporting some of these features, even if the text is passed through as plain text, such as canonical psalm titles. Nothing like that should be omitted, even if the display is not anything special.
