If you define in your module manager (install manager) a remote install source at ftp.kleinpaste.org in /pub/sword, you will find 4 modules comprising Charles Hodge's _Systematic Theology_.
The text is ThML, as obtained from CCEL. xml2gbs did a poor job with it so I spent a couple hours yesterday on yet another sed hackery job to produce these. They seem reasonable so far; I would appreciate it if some would pick them up and look them over. I consider them very beta; they have a "0.<date>" version stamp for now and I won't presume to knock them forward to 1.anything until others have examined the resulting formatting. Some of the formatting choices that look great in GS don't work so well in WinSword 1.5.9. Most obviously, I know Troy has added proper support for "<p />" (on my request, months ago) but as of the 1.5.9 release, WinSword's interpretation of "<p />" is effectively identical to mere "<br />". I'm not sure if I should try to address this, or simply expect that Troy will soon complete the followup release beyond 1.5.9, at which point I can simply stuff an appropriate MinimumVersion header into *.conf. A problem over which I have no control is that the source text is clearly missing some material, e.g. Vol 1, Part I Theology Proper, Chapter 2 Theism does not have all the sections that are listed in the Prefatory. There were also a number of obvious errors which I could readily repair, especially in section titles, e.g. "3. articular Passages which Teach the Divinity of Christ" was clearly missing the `P' on "Particular." I gather that the XML resulted from OCR'd+edited text. _Systematic Theology_ may be 130 years old, but it's a deep, long, involved work, and still very relevant. As originally published, Vol 1 alone weighed in at 650 pages, and the "Introduction" (huh, yeah, right) is 6 chapters long. I hope your language skills in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, and German are all up to par. GS users: If the GS you run is not built out of recent SVN, then the first time you define a new remote source, you will need to close and re-open the MM. enjoy, --karl _______________________________________________ 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
