Hi all I've found some instructions on transforming usfm/x to osis on the wiki but was wondering how difficult it would be to automate a lot of it? is it such that there is too much manual cleaning up? also, I was wondering if there's any appetite in developing a driver to read such modules,

If you know 'awk' it's not difficult at all Chris. You can use 'awk' regular expressions to replace USFM tags with OSIS ones. ~A On Thu, Nov 8, 2012 at 5:39 AM, Chris Burrell ch...@burrell.me.uk wrote: Thanks for all the info. On the last point, I did mean read directly from USFM. I don't

I don't remember who advised me to do module development in USFM then convert to OSIS at the last step, but it was good advice (Dealing with USFM for edits is far more manageable than OSIS). I've started doing it that way ( I use to work directly in OSIS), so I expect the need to convert from
