In my other thread, Troy kindly wrote, So, as a side note to this thread,
The Sahidic Bible is maintained at coptot.manuscriptroom.com: http://coptot.manuscriptroom.com/transcribing?docID=1620025&userName=PUBLISHED and we regularly export from there and import into swordweb, which is used for their browser plugin (first link on Christian Askeland's wonder resource list for Coptic): https://sites.google.com/site/askelandchristian/copticlinks We don't index the text. They typically search with regex (and yes, they know about the {byte_count} anomaly with our regex search). -Troy --------------------------------- FYI. I am now in email contact with Dr Askeland, so I hope we can make progress towards a properly updated module. The one in the CrossWire repo was last updated in 2012, and judging by the anomalies in the conf file was originally put together somewhat of in a hurry. Although I have submitted an updated conf file to the modules team, something more substantial is required. One thing I didn't change in the .conf file was this line: SourceType=OSIS I expressed my doubts in my cover email, but now I have conclusive evidence that the module was made using *imp2vs*. There are two verses where the IMP format reference was not processed for whatever cause. $$$Jer.44.6 $$$Acts.7.60 That being the case, and there being no XML fragments in the module text, that line should be SourceType=PlainText Providing we can obtain the most recent source text that now contains input from further contributors, it should be feasible to build a new module. btw. Our other four Coptic modules have "Cop" as a module name prefix. This one doesn't. Would it be sensible to rename the module as [CopSahidicBible] when it's rebuilt, and include the line Obsoletes=SahidicBible Best regards, David -- View this message in context: http://sword-dev.350566.n4.nabble.com/Observations-on-the-SahidicBible-module-tp4657132.html Sent from the SWORD Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ 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
