Hello; Due to some of those things in life that sometimes happen I reconverted strongly to Catholicism and I want to join my devotions with my favorite OS (FreeBSD).. so voila.. I'm here playing with sword.
I have some pretty cool documents.. starting with the new Catechism of the Catholic Church (in spanish), but before that (although not necessary) I thought it would be nice to have a Catholic Bible. I have the text for the spanish version of the Jerusalem Bible (1971) but the copyright owners rejected my petition to make it available, however the Italian version seems to be available (for personal, non-commercial use), since the copyright owner is the Italian Episcopal Council and they have made the text available. I have almost finished converting the text to GBF and from there I plan to convert it to OSIS. The first big oops in sword is the lack of Deuterocanonicals, as it is an integral part of the Bible for us Catholics: http://www.ewtn.com/expert/answers/bible_versions.htm A second oops is that the GBF to OSIS converter assumes everything has KJV versioning, but this Bible has mixed numbers (4a 4b, 4c , etc) I don't suppose sword accepts such verse numbers so I sort of worked around it. I am not sure how to handle the references to the Vulgata in the Psalms either. BTW is OSIS dead? The techie forum doesn't seem to work at all. Finally I can't find much documentation or source examples on how to make devotionals. I have the Liturgy of the Hours (aka Divine Office) in word format but for that I need to be able to set the dates in terms of weeks and weekdays, it would also be pretty cool to be able to determine the liturgic time (ordinary, lent, advent) and some prayers are made by all the Church at specific times of the day. It's rather easier to do these prayers with the printed book, but well... I was just wondering how advanced sword was meant to be ;-). While here... anyone has a copy of the DRV Bible in GBF?.. I noticed it existed once but the link is dead now. Pedro. ___________________________________ L'email della prossima generazione? Puoi averla con la nuova Yahoo!
