If you know 'awk' it's not difficult at all Chris. You can use 'awk' regular expressions to replace USFM tags with OSIS ones.<br><br>~A<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 5:39 AM, Chris Burrell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:chris@burrell.me.uk" target="_blank">chris@burrell.me.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div></div>Several of us have been starting to think and experiment with this too.<br>

Basically it is easy to automate as such. The problem is around cleaning up.<br>

There is a thread earlier this year where some of this was discussed. The basic plan is to use a git repository and git hooks with scripts attached to that. Some infrastructure is up, but not much else has happened yet.<div class="im">
