[sword-devel] Bible in Myanmar

[David Haslam]

It’s bad enough when a typeset Bible has free floating margin notes and xrefs instead of them being tied to tagged words.

When the verse tags are also relegated to the column side margins, it’s seldom a simple task to reverse engineer.

Ask if they have a revision controlled set of files that are upstream of the PageMaker DTP software package.

Best regards,

David
