xreffix.pl requires installed Perl bindings for Sword. You can get these currently only by compiling from source - download the source for sword, compile it, install it, change over into the bindings subdirectory, into swig, read the instructions and follow them As this is a considerable step, which many will fail upon and as it is not necessary for many Bibles (without xrefs), the xreffix it is not included in usfm2osis.pl. To run it successfully you need to do several things: 1) create a locale file. You can take any existing one (in Linux under /usr/local/share/sword/locales.d or /usr/share/sword/locales.d) and copy it, edit accordingly and add it again to the same location under the new name (<language-code>-utf8.conf) 2) edit xreffix.pl according to the conventions of your USFM references - separators for chapters and verses are highly variable accross languages. Do not forget to set the language code in the xml file xreffix.pl has a very large debug output - it makes sense to save it and analyse it - even once it seems to work well. It will show you where xrefs are wrongly encoded etc. xreffix.pl is a very rough script. I wrote it to do what I want and i took very little care to make it play nice. It certainly is not a fire and forget type script. If you really struggle, I am happy to take over that step for you (once you have a decent locale file) And with regard to titles - yes, David is right, titles are a nightmare right now and I am less than impressed with them. My title_cleanup.pl is in need of major overhaul and it will be, but I am unable to put a time scale to it (apart from stating, it is one of my current and the most serious project) Peter _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
