[sword-devel] Where is the source code for individual SWORD modules?

[Peter von Kaehne]

Use diatheke, it produces a complete LaTEX document. 

You will need to define a bunch of macros , something I have never come round to. If you could produce something reasonable universal to shove back onto our server that would be ideal.

I used Mono to run the tool under Linux, then took the output and pasted it into a "skeleton" document I had written earlier. (The IMP markup for the AKJV module was really simple thanks to the simplicity of the module itself so it ended up being pretty easy.) If anyone's interested in the end result I got, I'm happy to share it. I think it came out pretty good.
