[sword-devel] Question regarding special markup in Psalms and SWModule::stripText

I took a look at the GBF Plain filter. It does recognize these and is specifically handling them.

Basically the plain filter has a little bit of markup:
New lines for <CL> (this is a hack), <CN>, <CM>.
It will put notes stuff between <F>this is a note<f], in [this is a note].
Greek Strongs Numbers <WGnnn>, Hebrew Strongs Numbers <WHnnn> and Tense <WTnnn> become <nnn>.

Everything else is passed as text.

In Him,

>> Hi Tobias. SWORD renders these tags for you if the planets are aligned. When you create your SWMgr, you tell it what "Render" markup you would like. We highly recommend XHTML. This will tell the SWMgr factory class to construct SWModule oblects with all the necessary filters added to produce your requested render markup when you call SWModule::renderText. The SWModule::stripText will also render plaintext output because SWMgr will add appropriate filters (as Greg has said GBFPlain, in this case). If the old GBF German Bible module you are using is made correctly, its .conf file will include a SourceType=GBF. This will allow SWMgr to pick the right filters to add. You shouldn't need to add any manually.
