[sword-devel] Inclusion of the Reina-Valera 1865

[DM Smith]

I think a combination of Perl and xslt would work well. Perl to create chapter containers and grab chapter and verse numbers.  Perhaps change <p> titles to something else to distinguish them from verses.

Then it’d have semantic markup. Converting to another would be straight forward.

We've had the Bible itself back in print for 17 years now, but the various digital versions have been plagued with sundry typographical issues. I'm fixing that.

I would like to produce a high-quality OSIS version that I can continue to work on, adding various tags throughout the text, but the goal is to get it ready for distribution immediately.
