[sword-devel] GlobalOptionFilter=UTF8GreekAccents

> 5. I managed to use <milestone type="x-p" marker="¶"/> instead of ¶, but it seems that Xiphos does not render them (either for KJV) to indicate there is a new paragraph here. Or am I missing something, is this not for a new paragraph?

Xiphos displays these OK in the KJV module (& others) in my Windows PC. Always has done.
It signifies a paragraph, but the printed KJV is a Verse Per Line work, so it's best viewed in Xiphos with Verse Per Line selected.
It does'nt force a line break at all.

Best regards,

David

For example, Matthew 1:1 contains the morphs ....NFS, ....GFS, ....GMS and so on. Is this a well-known standard which is supported by SWORD, or should this be translated to Robinson, for example? (I did not find any docs about the Packard morphology standard.) In fact, the morph entries are preceded by a role entry, e.g. N, V, C or E, so I guess, lowercasing these codes and removing the dots, then connecting them with a dash may be a workaround, e.g. n-nfs, n-gfs, n-gms look very close to such entries from Byz (n-nsf, n-gsf, n-gsm), but the last two characters are swapped.
> 4. Alan's .tsv also contains a lemma for each word, and Koine Greek variant. Is there something similar to the Koine Greek variant in other Greek modules, or is there an automatic way to convert a modern Greek word into Koine Greek? (Sorry, I have no deeper background in this field.)

It is empty (it contains only the 0x00 char in its entire content). The StatResGNT module has nothing to do with the Old Testament. If I omit this file from the .sword/modules/texts/ztext/statresgnt folder, everything works properly. But I would like to be sure that this file will not be created at all, if possible.
