Hello
Can Xiphos export a personal commentary to a format that can be used with
any SWORD-based Bible program (BibleTime, Eloquent, etc.)?
Thanks

Dear Sirs,

I would also like to know how to export the bookmarks in Xiphos so that
when I upgrade the operating system from Centos 7 to Rocky 10 I can
still have the same bookmarks.

I just ran BT on my Linux (F42) box, and it found my journals/prayer 
list modules directly, no need to export or elsehow re-introduce. They 
appear in BT as just "Books," BT not providing special handling for such 
modules.

I tried exporting an archive of a journal into Bishop, but Bishop 
doesn't seem to grasp its existence at all, aside from being listed as 
an installed module. I see no mechanism by which actually to use books.

All that the Archive function of Xiphos' Module Manager ? Maintenance 
provides is to dump the content from under ~/.sword into a zip file. 
There's no conversion process at all. In Xiphos, journal/prayer list 
content is internally HTML. Whether other apps comprehend that is not 
Xiphos' business, but clearly BT understands them.

No conversion needed. Just preserve the content under ~YourName, and the 
bookmarks in .config/xiphos/bookmarks/bookmarks.xml will be present and 
usable.
