Hi Chris,
Should we edit the wiki page
<http://crosswire.org/wiki/Converting_SFM_Bibles_to_OSIS#Converting_USFM_files_to_OSIS>
to indicate that usfm2osis.py is released and is now the preferred
conversion tool?
Sure, feel free.
And should we also indicate that the Perl script usfm2osis.pl is henceforth
deprecated?
Seems reasonable.
What about the subsequent steps to fix titles and cross-references?
usfm2osis.py will always only generate best practice OSIS, to the best
of my & its ability, so it won't generate stuff that Sword needs due to
its own shortcomings (x-preverse). To the extent that Sword needs
x-preverse, it will have to be supplied otherwise. I think that's what
you mean by 'fix titles'.
I think you mean expanding references when you say 'cross-references'.
usfm2osis.py should do that, but I don't recall off the top of my head
how well it works. It doesn't use Sword bindings presently, so it's very
limited in its knowledge of versification systems.
