Making sure things like milestone chapter and verse end markers don't get put in the wrong place is one of the more challenging parts of the conversion. I have included some code to try to make sure these end markers are moved to where they belong and don't end up getting put at the beginning of a new section when they should be put at the end of a previous section, though. There may be more work that needs to be done with regards to this. I would have to see examples of where my script fails in order to do more in this area though. > > Wrt xrefs- I have always had a separate script using the Sword library > to parse the xrefs and insert these into the OSIS.

I am sure I don't possess the knowledge required to handle them properly. :) _______________________________________________ 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
