Fwiw we have a fairly automatic process now to push a module through. Email me off list please.<br>

Hi,<div class="">It’s more a case of converging evolution - my code started being very customised for the OEB when there wasn’t a clear alternative and has become more general over time. The initial focus was PDF (via ConTeXt) and a now obsolete version of John Dyer’s study software but it was extensible so it has accumulated more backends over time. Because it was focused on the OEB it has some nice features for the OEB, but I wouldn’t claim that is a general solution especially for non-English languages.</div><div class=""><br class="" /></div><div class="">Would you recommend Haiola for generating Sword modules over the Crosswire tools?

It sounds like you are on your way to duplicating the capabilities
of <a href="http://haiola.org/" class="">Haiola</a>. Haiola reads USFM and
spits out Crosswire Sword modules, WordML, HTML, InScript, ePub,
Amazon Kindle Mobi (created from the ePub with an Amazon program),
PDF (in the pre-release development version), and more. It doesn't
do RTF, but you can read the WordML into Microsoft Word or
LibreOffice Writer and write out RTF from there. Haiola is free
and open source software, except for the InScript generation
module, but even that I will run on my computer for open access
Bibles like the OEB. It has been tested on over 700 Bible
translations. The PDF generation isn't released yet, because of
some issues with bidirectional scripts, but that shouldn't be a
problem with the OEB.<br class="" />
<br class="" />
So... feel free to carry on with the way you did it last time, or
just point me to the OEB USFM files and help me with the metadata,
and I can have your updated module in the <a href="http://eBible.org" class="">eBible.org</a> repository
reasonably quickly.<br class="" />

Hi guys,
<div class="">Sorry if this is the wrong place.</div>
<div class=""><br class="" />
</div>
<div class="">There is an old version of the Open English Bible on
the website which needs updating. Someone helped me creating the
modules a few years back.</div>
<div class=""><br class="" />
</div>
<div class="">I’m currently trying to automate building the OEB as
much as possible so that we can put out more regular updates.
Source is in USFM (which should be compliant now) and I have
software which parses USFM using a python parser framework and
can then spit out RTF, PDF, HTML etc etc with pluggable
renderers [1]. The software isn’t OEB specific - it should
handle most USFM - though it hasn’t been tested that much on
other sources.</div>
<div class=""><br class="" />
</div>
<div class="">I would like to integrate this with the SWORD
framework so that new OEB versions can be pushed out with as
little human input as possible but I’m not sure what the
recommended process is.</div>
<div class=""><br class="" />
</div>
<div class="">At the moment I don’t generate OSIS but could do
that fairly easily if I had some help on what the OSIS should
look like, or I could integrate with an existing USFM->OSIS
generator.</div>
