Hi all, I've created a module that combines all of Calvin's commentaries. It is an OSIS module, which I've generated from CCEL's ThML sources, using XSLT and various python scripts etc. osis2mod doesn't yet support OSIS commentaries very well (it requires them to be marked up like Bibles), so, after some messing around, I've added a stage into the scripts to 'versify' the OSIS -- hopefully that will be removed at some point.
All my scripts etc. are in the swordtools Subversion repository. For the end result, see: http://lukeplant.me.uk/misc/sword/calvinscommentaries.versified.osis.bz2 http://lukeplant.me.uk/misc/sword/calvinscommentaries.conf It's working quite nicely on my machine :-) To generate the module from sources, you will need to look in the swordtools repository: http://crosswire.org/svn/modules/calvinscommentaries Have a look at the README. (BTW, current build scripts don't clean up after themselves very well, to make debugging easier, so you will end up with 300 Mb of stuff in a folder 'build'). You will also need the CCEL sources -- for your convenience, you can download them here: http://lukeplant.me.uk/misc/sword/calcom_sources.tar.bz2 I haven't checked this thoroughly by any means, and I've run out of time to do any more work on it for a while, but it should provide a pretty solid basis. The module strips out everything that isn't commentary, including Calvin's latin translation of the text and all the forewords and indexes -- I think that is better, for now at least. One thing I have noticed, and I think it is a bug with osis2mod -- where a line starts with whitespace, all the leading whitespace is removed, which means that if the line before didn't end with whitespace, two words now get joined together. For an example, search for "eloquent by nature, but when" in calvinscommentaries.versified.osis, and see the corresponding words in Gen 3:1, where you will find "whenSatan". This occurs quite a lot, it would be good to get it fixed before releasing the module to the public.
