[bd-users] Tools to create modules?

[peter]

On the other hand some stuff is fairly easily automated.


I have produced three Bible modules with teh help of a script in teh
sord archives. I had USFM encoded text (Paratext files) and had to clean
them up a bit, but that was that.

So it will depend strongly on what you have and what you want to achieve,
