<font size="+1"><font face="Arial Unicode MS">I am working on a module
for a Catholic translation that has deuterocanonical books as well as
additional verses in Daniel 3 (vv. 24-90--in the LXX, though Crosswire
LXX modules drop the extra text). If anyone working on dynamic
versification would like access to the OSIS file, I am happy to send it
to you privately for testing purposes.<br>
<br>
I know I can't compile the module with the deuterocanonical books, but
I don't want to drop text from the book of Daniel if possible. There
are two issues I would like help with: <br>
<br>
1. Compiling with the extra verses in Daniel causes the entire book of
Daniel to not be included in the module. Is there a way to fool
osis2mod into including that text? </font></font></div></blockquote><div><br>Right now, I believe, you could just roll them all into verse 23 -- it's not very pretty, but it's likely the most straightforward method of doing it. DM is, last I heard, working on updating osis2mod to incorporate support for the current alternatve versification scheme that's been added to the engine. However, he was wrapping up some other bugs that were outstanding in osis2mod before he did that.<br>

2. The printed text uses a plus sign for those verses which aren't in
the Hebrew text. The osisID after v. 23 should be: Dan.3.24!+, ...
Dan.3.90!+, Dan.3.24, .... At this point, however, OSIS doesn't allow
for a plus symbol in the osisID variable. I need some way to preserve
the printed order and referencing. Does anyone know how to do that?</font></font></div></blockquote><div><br>I think that's still going to be a limitation of the current system. I know the printed copy of the Jerusalem Bible that I use has, in some places, at least two different versification schemes used simultaneously. One of those places is in Daniel 3:25/91 through the end of that chapter, where each verse is given two numbers, one to satisfy the LXX numbering and the other the version more customary to those in the English Protestant world. A second place is from Ps 10-147 in our English bibles. The JB takes 9 and 10 and amalgamates them together, as the Vulgate and LXX do, giving the title of "Psalm 9-10." It then proceeds onwards, labeling each of the successive Psalms as "Psalm 11/Vulgate 10," "Psalm 12/Vulgate 11" and so on, right up through "Psalm 147/Vulgate 146-147." I don't know of any other Bibles off-hand that do the same thing, but I'm sure that some publisher, somewhere, has seen fit to try and squeeze in multiple divisions. How to handle that in any given module and from a technical standpoint is likely to be an absolute mess. If I ask for Daniel 3:27 -- which verse should be returned? If I ask for Psalm 119:2... is that from the long 119 of fame, or of the first Psalm of Ascent? I certainly wouldn't think to type in that I want "Dan 3:25!+" Yikes!<br>
<br>For now, converting into a General Book is likely to be your best bet, and the eventual osis2mod will be able to create modules which are recognized as Bibles to the frontends, but which use the General Book driver. For now, I don't think any of the front-ends have that capability, since the necessary SWORD library changes are all in post-1.5.11 code, and there has been no 1.5.12 yet. So for now, for testing, try importing to a General Book, if possible, and just hang tight until you can use some future front-end with support for TreeVerseKey (a.k.a. Alternate Versification support).<br>
