Ahh, that C API looks like what I would want. I didn't mean to disparage or be uppity by stating my preference for standardization; I greatly appreciate what this project (I use And Bible on my phone). This is by far the smaller of my two concerns. I may also suffer from not-invented-here syndrome.
I did not know about diatheke before you mentioned it. The tool I envision is a less-like, Bible module viewer with stuff like strong's numbers and morphology codes, and the ability to view commentaries inline. Specifically, the personal commentary, so that I can see my own notes along with verses. The only reason for using a terminal as a UI is to avoid large libraries like QT4 or GTK (although, after using BibleTime for a bit, I've been impressed with the startup time - not so much with compile times though). The main thing that got me wanting to make this is that any software that allows editing personal commentaries has a builtin editor, rather than opening an external editor like vim. My thought is to use the EDITOR environment variable. It is possible that I could achieve everything I want with shell scripts and diatheke; I'll have to think about that more. Incidentally, I am on linux, but not Ubuntu. NixOS is my preferred distro. _______________________________________________ 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
