Would it be possible for you to post an SFM version too (if it's not too
much trouble). I've been working on SFM to OSIS tools using your WEB
SFM text and wouldn't mind just using that as a source format. We're
going to have so much stuff in OSIS format quite soon that it will be
necessary for us to write OSIS to HTML/ThML/RTF/... filters for Sword
anyway.
Your SFM materials are a lot nicer (more tame) to work with than some of
the stuff I've seen lately. :)
Sure: ftp://eBible.org/pub/new/tokpisinsf.zip has a copy of it (or at least it will once the upload I just started finished). I'm not confident that verse bridges are handled correctly in this copy, as they look like one or more empty verse followed by a really long verse. For example, Ezekiel 48:30-34 is translated as a unit, so any references to Ezekiel Ezekiel 48:30 should bring up the text in Ezekiel 48:34. Maybe this should be marked as
\v 30-34 Bikpela...
instead.
