[sword-devel] Short/Long Bible & Commentary Modules

[David Haslam]

Ah - but when I submitted the updated module PolUGdanska for release, the .conf file specifically included

Versification=KJV

so there's still no accounting for your observation of the two extra verses.

Unless, of course, when Peter rebuilt the module using osis2mod, he actually used -v NRSV in the command line,
or unless, perhaps, he's using a user-compiled version of the Sword utilities in which the default v11n has already been changed to NRSV,
even though this was merely mooted tentatively in the wiki page as being a potential candidate for default v11n.

Notwithstanding, the command line should always match the v11n when it's specified in the .conf file.

Aside: Whenever I build a module, I'm constrained to using the most recently downloaded utilities for Windows (or earlier).
I never compile any programs from source.

Best regards,

David

This is done before any of the input file is read. That index in the files listed have the number of verses in the NRSV not the KJV. If I understand correctly, the length of the index files don’t change once the module is created.
