The only scripts I currently have are for turning the gbf into a verse per line file that can be imported using vpl2mod. My attempts at figuring out how to mark up texts using osis have failed miserably. :/
Since many of the modules are still gbf, I see no reason why at least 1 more official gbf version of the WEB and HNV couldn't be made while we wait on someone with the time and knowledge necessary to create a gbf2osis tool for converting all gbf modules to compliant osis. Many of us who use the WEB and HNV are becoming frustrated with the lack of up-to-date versions of these modules. (The whole reason I made my initial attempt at getting these modules updated last year was because of this very reason) If I can get some clear documentation on how to mark up bible texts using OSIS, and some good examples as a reference, I *might* be able to come up with a perl script that could be used to convert gbf bibles to compliant osis. If this happens I will gladly send the script to you. Ryan On 9/9/05, Chris Little <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Ryan, > > I think most of us are pretty busy right now.
