[sword-devel] Observations on the SahidicBible module

[David Haslam]

Thanks Troy,

I only got drawn into this through my curiosity when I came across a later
post of yours in this mailing list in which you were asking about viewing
the SahidicBible module in PocketSword. :)

Is it likely then that the "2012-10-10" module version 1.1 in our repository
is merely a snapshot that somebody wanted to test with a front-end other
than SwordWeb?

I've just downloaded the exported text file, which is in IMP format with (as
you describe) some simple TEI markup in the verse text, even for "empty"
verses (as it were).

It shouldn't be difficult to at least strip out the TEI markup where it
currently has no useful equivalent in OSIS. Then we're back to a plain text
source in IMP format.  

I imagine this is how the module was made in 2012. Is that correct?

On the other hand, I could actually retain the <w>...</w> elements as these
are valid in OSIS as well, and merely discard the <ab ... > and </ab> items
at the start and end of each verse.

It will be interesting to find out how much has changed in the past five
years.

If nothing has changed, then it may merely indicate that the SwordVersion
date in the conf file is left untouched by whatever procedure is in place
whenever the module is rebuilt.

That might be of some concern.

Best regards,

David
