Re: [sword-devel] Bible submission process question

[Kahunapule Michael Johnson]

Hello, Russell. It sounds like you are on your way to duplicating the capabilities of Haiola. Haiola reads USFM and spits out Crosswire Sword modules, WordML, HTML, InScript, ePub, Amazon Kindle Mobi (created from the ePub with an Amazon program), PDF (in the pre-release development version), and more. It doesn't do RTF, but you can read the WordML into Microsoft Word or LibreOffice Writer and write out RTF from there. Haiola is free and open source software, except for the InScript generation module, but even that I will run on my computer for open access Bibles like the OEB. It has been tested on over 700 Bible translations. The PDF generation isn't released yet, because of some issues with bidirectional scripts, but that shouldn't be a problem with the OEB. So... feel free to carry on with the way you did it last time, or just point me to the OEB USFM files and help me with the metadata, and I can have your updated module in the eBible.org repository reasonably quickly.

Someone helped me creating the modules a few years back. I’m currently trying to automate building the OEB as much as possible so that we can put out more regular updates. Source is in USFM (which should be compliant now) and I have software which parses USFM using a python parser framework and can then spit out RTF, PDF, HTML etc etc with pluggable renderers [1]. The software isn’t OEB specific - it should handle most USFM - though it hasn’t been tested that much on other sources. I would like to integrate this with the SWORD framework so that new OEB versions can be pushed out with as little human input as possible but I’m not sure what the recommended process is. At the moment I don’t generate OSIS but could do that fairly easily if I had some help on what the OSIS should look like, or I could integrate with an existing USFM->OSIS generator.
