[sword-devel] diatheke missing bibletext.cls and sword.sty

[Michael H]

Brian,

You'll run into issues trying to build a Bible in Latex. Simon Cozens did,
and decided to fix it. Resulting in Sile. (That's a stretch and mangled
history, but theres a bit of truth in there.)

Sile is free and open source and is designed to produce printed books, with
Bibles in mind.

It's also much younger and in active development.

Latex might produce a King James (text only, not references.. xrefs etc.)
You won't be very happy with it.  Sile can handle KJV with greek glossed
in. Mostly.  If you have time.
