The biggest problem here is that sword update to 1.8 missed the ubuntu 18 LTS feature freeze, so it will be 2020 before sword 1.8 is fully supported in the bulk of linux installations without special management, and 2022 before Ubuntu 18 support for Sword 1.7 is officially ended. (SIL/Wycliffe

In usfm: Vp is displayed instead of v. Correct processing is difficult because this is frequently used to reorder verses. Vp would represent the matching versification... the source of the text from the original language, while v represents the intended order of display. Va is displayed as will

Have you tried scrolling up in Bibletime? Bibletime sets the display to start at verse 1 in each chapter. If there is a Chapter title, intro, verse zero or section title information, it is in the stream, but 'above' the top of the display. On Sun, Mar 31, 2019 at 8:42 AM Cyrille wrote: > Ok I

In usfm, and paratext, each row of a table is independent. That is, several separate "paragraphs" that start \tr are displayed in a grid form, but each row (\tr) is treated separately. As you approach 'tables' in OSIS, I think you'll find that you won't have a problem if you consider this the

For whay it's worth, I promote usfm for exactly the reasons being discussed here. Ease of editing and semantic tags. The biggest reason not to use markdown for genbooks is the inability to properly link references to scripture. Since the whole point of having gen books in the sword platform is

What's your target audience geographically? Is this mostly non-English speaking concern? or is the gap of material mostly English? On a desktop (in English,) the gap that "free" can't currently fill is not Bible Text, but in 20 and 21st century scholarship about Bible issues. It is very easy to

It would make more sense to add another file in the FTP structure, like a defined "read me," index, or "about" file designed for humans, instead of expanding the conf file. The .conf file is supposed to be a standardized file for the benefit of machines. It makes a lot of sense to segregate a
