<div>Hi!</div>
<div>I've posted this as a thread to the forums very recently and Manfred responded that I shoud write to this mailing list.<br clear="all"></div>
<div>I'm creating a dictionary module and I found the following file: <a href="http://www.crosswire.org/~chrislit/osis/texts/smith.zip" target="_blank">smith.zip</a>.<br>The zip-file contains the Smith's Bible Dictionary in OSIS format, so I thought that was the correct format to create my dictionary in.<br>
So the actual OSIS XML-file is already created, but now I'm having trouble to make a module out of the XML-file.<br><br>I've downloaded the sword utilities compiled for Win32.<br>And I've used the osis2mod utility to create a bible module earlier, but now it's a dictionary so the osis2mod won't work.<br>
By reading the wiki it seemed like the xml2gbs utility was the right one to use, so I tried it out and it created three files with the following extensions: bdt, dat & idx.<br>But the module doesn't seem to work, I've tried to use both the rawLD and rawGenBook as the value for ModDrv in the conf-file.<br>
I have seen that the Smith module (the actual one) contains only two files: dat & idx.<br><br>So what utility do you use to create only the dat & idx files?</div>
<div>
<div> </div>
<div>Now I know (after creating my file) that the preferred format is TEI, but I'm hoping that I don't have to convert my 4000 lines of XML.</div>
<div>Maybe the conversion could be made quite easily with a few regular expression but I don't know if TEI supports paragraphs.<br><br>Please let me know if you know what I'm doing wrong.<br>Thanks in advance!<br>
