Hi everybody, <br>
<br>
Just out of interest, I picked up the OSIS file and tried to convert
it into a commentary. Boy was that a first encounter with xml, and
OSIS especially! Took me a while to figure out the thing about
milestones... and the shiny world of regular expressions... <br>
<br>
I converted verses and a few headers to milestones (consistently)
because that was easier. I also removed the periods in the verse
beginnings (I have yet to see how much collateral damage this did)
and fixed a modest amount of typos. <br>
<br>
Anyway, finally the xml validator says it's well-formed, and
osis2mod compiles without complaints. However, opening the module in
Bibletime results in (apparently non-Unicode) gibberish. The text
displays fine in a browser though. Validating it as OSIS xml
(xmllint --noout --schema
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.bibletechnologies.net/osisCore.2.1.1.xsd">http://www.bibletechnologies.net/osisCore.2.1.1.xsd</a>
DutchAnnotationsOSIS.xml) gives me a lot of error messages, all of
them look something like this: <br>
<br>
<i>"DutchAnnotationsOSIS.xml:65535: element div: Schemas validity

<br>
<br>
It is clear that somewhere OSIS standards are being violated, and my
best guess is it's in the header. I wasn't really able to verify if
I did everything right due to a lack of documentation (the wiki
doesn't mention commentary headers, the OSIS documentation doesn't
either, there's only one sample header in the forum:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.crosswire.org/forums/mvnforum/viewthread_thread,773">http://www.crosswire.org/forums/mvnforum/viewthread_thread,773</a> )<br>
Unfortunately this sample doesn't meet OSIS minimum requirements.
For instance, it doesn't define a scope, nor a copyright, nor a
versification system. <br>
<br>
Also, it still isn't exactly clear to me what syntax is necessary so
that the header will be valid. Specifically, I was wondering about
this value: <code class="prettyprint"><span class="atn">osisRefWork</span><span
class="pun">=</span><span class="atv">"defaultReferenceScheme"</span><span
class="pln">. Is</span></code><code class="prettyprint"><span
class="atv"> "defaultReferenceScheme"</span></code>supposed to
be replaced by something like NRSV (as in: v11n), or is this a
standard value for commentaries? <br>
<br>
And: Do I, for a commentary, need to specify a versification system
when compiling, and in the .conf file? <br>
<br>
Anyways, here's the .conf file (attached) and the osis.xml file (to
be downloaded here:

<br>
Happy if I can be of help, <br>
