Re: [sword-devel] New Accented Greek NT with Morph

2005-04-20 Thread DM Smith
Under FC3/Firefox, the composed and decomposed forms show the same behavior as under Firefox and WinXP. The composed has no problems. But many of the accented characters are shorter. I guess that this makes room for the accents. Under the decomposed form more letters have the accents following.

Cool! On WinXP SP2 under FireFox, the decomposed form shows some problems in positioning the accent over the letter, but the accent is displayed. The composed looks great. On WinXP SP2 under IE, the decomposed form shows lots of accent rendering problems, but each letter is there. In the compose

Re: [sword-devel] Are individual verses in a module "well formed"

2005-04-20 Thread DM Smith
There are various contexts in which it makes sense to display individual verses. E.g. Quotations. Also, in the context of search, individual verses are returned. Adjacent verses may be merged into a passage. These are then presented to the user. Different clients do it differently. For these to

Verification scheme is not easy to switch as you think.  I have tried to do that and finally I have to develop a completely new verification scheme according to the Nova Vulgata numbering system to include the Deuterocanical Books into my Bible program using the SWORD code. 

[sword-devel] New Accented Greek NT with Morph

2005-04-20 Thread Troy A. Griffitts
Hey guys, I've spent some time cleaning up a module submitted by David (dnr at crosswire dot org) which uses the base Westcott-Hort Accented GNT from CCEL and merges in the morphology tags from Maurice Robinson's WHNU text (our WHNU module). The result is an OSIS module that is fully U

DM, No, SWORD currently does no work to promise any retrievable segment of text as valid markup. I have talked with a few XML experts and have had a number of ideas brewing for the past few years how we might offer such information, as it is a necessary obstacle to overcome. The quest

[sword-devel] Are individual verses in a module "well formed"

2005-04-20 Thread DM Smith
I asked this earlier on another thread, but it was lost in the noise of that thread. Does Sword, in making a module, ensure (or try to ensure) that each verse is well formed? That is, for every begin feature marker, there is a corresponding end feature marker. In XML and ThML it would be a ...

Dear C.N.R, Why html? - Try Zefania XML!! But our credo ALSO is, the versification has to stay as found in the source and how it a native reader would expect. ;-) . A smart bible software should handle all tasks which are nessecary for comperative reading. O:-) If you have trouble to publish yo
