[sword-devel] Av11n modules - was Deuterocanonical books / Apocrypha

[DM Smith]

Barry,
It may not be obvious, but SWORD and osis2mod is really picky when it comes to Bible book names.

Chris notes that the WEB OSIS file has errors in the Bible book names. These have to be fixed for osis2mod to not complain about something it does not know.

Also, the chapter and verse numbers for each book starts at 1 and goes up from there. So, the note that AddPs.151 is AddPs.1 in SWORD means that AddPs starts at chapter 1. There is no chapter 151.

Also, Chris is probably correct about the seg fault. I have encountered a seg fault when osis2mod encounters a book name it does not recognize. I've also encountered seg faults for chapters not in the av11n. Actually, SWORD library seg faulted.

With those fixed, the NSRVA might be very close.

Hope this helps.

In His Service,
	DM

For example Ps 151 is called AddPs.151 in the WEB but AddPs.1 in Sword, and EpJer is called EpJer.6 in the WEB but Bar.6 in Sword. I'm not sure what's causing you a segfault, but I think it is sometimes caused by unrecognized book names. I'm currently working on improving osis2mod, so I'll keep an eye out for that issue.
