To convert from Nave module to text, you can use mod2imp.exe. However, to put it back into SWORD module, the imp2ld.exe does not work properly. I have no problem to get text from module, but I could not use imp2ld.exe to put it back into module.
Paul Pham -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DM Smith Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 7:14 AM To: SWORD Developers' Collaboration Forum Subject: [sword-devel] Nave's Naves has/is one of my favorite Bible dictionaries. I am thinking about improving Nave's for use with Sword and JSword. Specifically, I would like to mark up the verse references and internal cross references so that they are hyperlinks. I hope to get started after JSword 1.0 is released (soon, but in its own time), but I want to start thinking about it now. In the nave.conf, I found references to www.bf.org as being the TextSource. (They are listed for a bunch of other modules) It appears that they no longer maintain the source. Doing some searching I found Naves.zip at http://aibi.gospelcom.net/downloads/naves.zip. This looks very much like what was used for the Sword module. First question, Do we maintain copies of the "editorial masters" from which Sword modules are created? And if so, could you point me to it for Naves? Second question, Is this link pointing to what was used? I did a spot check and it does not agree with my printed copy, 1974 Revised Edition (e.g. see "House of God") Where can I find a non-revised hard copy edition, if that was the basis? It does seem to agree with what is in the module. Is there a better zip? If so where? My goal at this point is better markup, not better content. Third (I know this is actually question 5 and 6;) question, If we don't have the editorial master, is there a way to reverse the module making to produce a facsimile of it? Or should I start over with this Naves.zip? Fourth question: What format should be used? OSIS, THML, GBF, ...? It seems that OSIS is the current markup of choice. I plan to use perl to do the transformation. Currently it looks something like this in JSword: HOUSE OF GOD -A place of prayer #Mt 21:13; Mr 11:17; Lu 19:46| -Holy #Ec 5:1; Isa 62:9; Eze 43:12; 1Co 3:17| -See SYNAGOGUE -See TABERNACLE -See TEMPLE In the zip it looks something like: $$T0002410 \HOUSE OF GOD\ -A place of prayer #Mt 21:13; Mr 11:17; Lu 19:46| -Holy #Ec 5:1; Isa 62:9; Eze 43:12; 1Co 3:17| -See SYNAGOGUE ¯T0004768 -See TABERNACLE ¯T0004781 -See TEMPLE ¯T0004861 Fifth question: Any other input? _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel ----------------------------------------- *****************Internet Email Confidentiality Footer****************** Privileged/Confidential Information may be contained in this message.
