Background - trying (for the second time) to write my own SWORD frontend. I tried once quite a bit ago, trying to make something focused on writing Markdown, and failed rather miserably. I'm now taking a second swing at it, aiming to make something a bit like theWord but with a user interface closer to the old Logos Library System (and yes, I'm talking about the *old* Logos Library System, I have a copy of it around here with some material on it, some of which is DRM-locked but oh well).
I have a decent Bible view implemented (well, mostly - still need to figure out how to handle markup other than OSIS but at least OSIS works), and am now figuring out what view to implement next. With that in mind, I installed some extra modules and looked at how Xiphos handled them and how they look internally using mod2imp... and quickly learned that modules do not always behave like I expect. For instance "Cult/Unorthodox" modules show up in Xiphos's Bible view, daily devotions are treated as dictionaries, and commentaries are structured by book, chapter, and verse just like Bible views but have their own "kind" of module in the SWORD API. Is there a good breakdown on how each kind of module is intended to be treated in SWORD? Right now I think it's probably: * Biblical Texts -> SWText * Commentaries -> SWCom * Dictionaries -> SWLD * Glossaries -> SWLD * Daily Devotionals -> SWLD * General Bookx -> SWGenBook * Maps -> ? * Images -> ? * Cult/Unorthodox -> SWText _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
