[sword-devel] AndBible WEBC Daniel

[Michael Johnson]

Hi Br. Cyrille,

Actually, that work-around might work for Catholic versification, but not for the ecumenical versification of the WEB. That is because the World English Bible contains both Daniel translated from the Hebrew traditional text (DAN) and Daniel translated from the Greek Septuagint (DAG). The USFM markup is correct. The ability of the Sword Engine to interpret it is broken.

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.

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.

This would imply WEBC contains no translation of Daniel. I see it on browser bible and in the EPUB. Is this an issue with AndBible, the source WEB files, or something else?
