Good day,
I am trying to help with a Thai version of Torrey's New Topical
Textbook. However, the references are not working as I expected.
Could someone please explain what I'm doing wrong or if it is a bug
or missing feature? I am using the Sword Project for Windows but
don't know this has to do with the sword engine or the UI.
I don't know ThML well enough to comment on it, but will regarding OSIS.
I have tried this with ThML and OSIS style references in a IMP file.
They have different results but the end result is not what I'd like.
I have attached my test files. What I would like is to only display
the Thai text in the lexicon window. I'd like to have a pop-up or
jump-to verse selection available. What I would like is for it to
read the English/standard bible references but display the Thai
references.
Instead, the OSIS version seems to read and display only the Thai
references and does not pop up a verse or display a verse list.
While the ThML version seems to read and display the English/
standard references and then pop up a verse(s) or display a verse
list.
I have not tested this a fully conformant OSIS or ThML document. Is
that the problem?
No, it is not a problem. The SWORD engine does not care as long as the
parts are as it expects. Using imp2mod is a great way to do testing.
Or is it something else? Nor have I tested it with other programs on
other platforms because most of the users will be Windows users and
most already have the Sword Project version.
To see if this is a UI problem try it in Xiphos on Windows which uses
the SWORD engine. To see if it is an encoding problem, try
BibleDesktop, which uses the JSword engine.

This is the proper form and should show "ch. 32:39" as the text for a
hyperlink.

This is not a proper reference as it has no osisRef. It should display
Rev 13:2, but not as a hyperlink.

This is not a valid osisRef as it is using a comma and not a space for
a separator.

This is not a valid osisRef, not only because of the comma, but also:
Psa is not the OSIS name for Psalms.
143.2 does not have a book name.
Rom 3:19 is not an OSIS ref as it uses spaces and colon.
While it is not a valid osisRef, both the SWORD and JSword engines
probably don't care and probably can create a verse list from it just
fine.
And while it is valid to have an osisRef point to more than one verse,
I don't think the SWORD engine handles it all that well. Most SWORD
frontends are chapter at a time viewers. Having a reference point to
two or more chapters would be problematic. (The same probably goes for
ThML, too.)
It would be better to encode this last one as:
<reference osisRef="Ps.130.3">สดุดี 130:3</reference>
<reference osisRef="Ps.143.2">สดุดี 143:2</reference>
<reference osisRef="Rom.3:19">โรม 3:19</reference>
Hope this helps.
