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

[David Haslam]

The GBF tags in GerSch that we’re discussing have nothing whatsoever to do with Strongs or Tense.

They are quite clearly all used for recording the original references before the text was squished in 2006 to the only v11n that SWORD supported at the beginning.

To satisfy my own curiosity, I have since developed a bespoke TextPipe filter to Restore the IMP file to the original v11n.

Yet to try it as an input for imp2vs to see which v11n gives the best match.

Best regards,

David

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.
