Are you trying to generate a module within Bibledit or using the
usfm2osis.pl script, then osis2mod? I believe everyone is assuming
you're aware of the latter method, which is the only way this works,
afaik, but perhaps you're not?


I was trying to generate a module within Bibledit. I have a usfm2osis.pl
script, but it may not be the same one you are speaking of. It does not
convert all necessary USFM markup, and drops sections of Scripture. I
consider that to be a bad thing. More later...

I understand you are more interested in the Bibledit route.  If it
works, that is good.  However, if it doesn't then the definitive Wiki
page on USFM is
http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Converting_SFM_Bibles_to_OSIS.  It
recommends using SFMToOSIS, and from memory I've got better results
from it than from usfm2osis.

The Wiki doesn't exactly recommend one tool or the other, but I'll adjust it to make it more clear that usfm2osis.pl is recommended.

Nope, I was wrong... we did explicitly recommend SFMToOSIS.

But that was written at a time when I didn't want to maintain usfm2osis.pl, no one else was helping to maintain it, and it appeared to me that SFMToOSIS was being actively maintained. I would say those variables have all changed since then--hence my changed opinion from when this recommendation was originally written.
