[sword-devel] Tools for enhancing OSIS documents

[Fr Cyrille]

Thank you very much for this work. You could add your script to build 
the references: https://gitlab.com/Screwtapello/bsb-to-sword/
As you are on the berean translation, I tried a few months ago to build 
a module with the interlinear (the current module is in the xiphos repo: 
BIBdraft). I didn't quite manage to come up with something satisfactory. 
I got the impression that it was the xlsx files that were perhaps not 
entirely right. I didn't go any further. But if you're thinking of 
continuing, I think an English interlinear Greek module would be a real 
plus for crosswire. Then maybe it will be possible to do it for other 
languages.
The folder with the bibdraft contains the script to build it in the imp 
format.
