<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Actually, that work-around might work
for Catholic versification, but not for the ecumenical
versification of the WEB. That is because the World English Bible
contains both Daniel translated from the Hebrew traditional text
(DAN) and Daniel translated from the Greek Septuagint (DAG). The
USFM markup is correct. The ability of the Sword Engine to
interpret it is broken.<br>

Hi Michael,<br>
THe problem is the same with xiphos.<br>
If you want your file readable with the Catholic versification,
you need to use the DAN \id in your usfm file, and not \id DAG.<br>
It's not a front-end issue but an usfm issue.<br>
@Jon, you probably know, with Andbible in the list of the bible
books, the DC and accessible with the +.<br>

<p>Hello, Jonathan.</p>
<p>WEB and WEBC indeed contain Daniel (Greek). However, I don't
know how to select a Sword Engine versification that can cause
the front ends (AndBible, Bishop, Xiphos, etc.) to properly
display Daniel (Greek). They can display some fragments of
Daniel (Greek), like Susanna and Bel and the Dragon, but the
World English Bible isn't split up that way, and won't be.
Daniel (Greek) makes more sense when presented as a whole. I'm
not sure if this is possible to do within the Sword ecosystem.</p>
<p>In the mean time, eBible.org epub files work well with Google
Books and Apple Books, among other epub readers, no matter
what their versification. You can get to any chapter in about
3 taps. The Sword Engine tries to force-fit every Bible
translation into a small set of predefined, hard-coded
versification schemes, none of which exactly match the World
English Bible. In fact, they don't exactly match a very high
percentage of Bible translations.<br>

Hi there!<br>
<br>
Apologies if I'm mistaken, but I'm not seeing Daniel (Greek)
in my bible app. It looks like both the WEB and WEBC contain
Esther (Greek) but lack Daniel (Greek). This would imply WEBC
contains no translation of Daniel. I see it on browser bible
and in the EPUB. Is this an issue with AndBible, the source
WEB files, or something else?<br>
