There's a roadmap in usfm2osis.py that includes reference parsing as a post-1.0 feature. At the present, usfm2osis.py is just a USFM to OSIS converter. Parsing references from USFM docs is outside that scope since references in USFM docs are completely unstandardized and the few facilities made available to allow reference parsing (\toc3) are infrequently used. I'd like to enable reference parsing (though I don't necessarily believe it can be done reliably), but I see it as a future feature, along with things like generating Sword modules directly--without osis2mod. --Chris _______________________________________________ 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
