[sword-devel] AndBible WEBC Daniel

[Michael Johnson]

Hello, Jonathan.

WEB and WEBC indeed contain Daniel (Greek). However, I don't know how to 
select a Sword Engine versification that can cause the front ends 
(AndBible, Bishop, Xiphos, etc.) to properly display Daniel (Greek). 
They can display some fragments of Daniel (Greek), like Susanna and Bel 
and the Dragon, but the World English Bible isn't split up that way, and 
won't be. Daniel (Greek) makes more sense when presented as a whole. I'm 
not sure if this is possible to do within the Sword ecosystem.

In the mean time, eBible.org epub files work well with Google Books and 
Apple Books, among other epub readers, no matter what their 
versification. You can get to any chapter in about 3 taps. The Sword 
Engine tries to force-fit every Bible translation into a small set of 
predefined, hard-coded versification schemes, none of which exactly 
match the World English Bible. In fact, they don't exactly match a very 
high percentage of Bible translations.
