[bt-devel] Problem with italics ....

[Barry Drake]

Hi there ....  I had to re-install Ubuntu yesterday.  I re-built Sword 
and BibleTime on the new installation, and now have a strange problem.  
I'm currently working on Brenton's Septuagint, which has a great many 
footnotes and in almost every one, some words are italicised.  On the 
version I built one month ago, which I still have running, the italics 
display OK.  On the build from git as of yesterday, a typical note gives 
the following:
12.21: Brenton's footnote here says 'The first 20 verses of this chapter 
are supplied by the <span class="italic">Alex.' </span> He does not, 
however include the text of these verses in the appendix, but simply 
points out the fact in the footnote above at v. 1, that the substance of 
the verses is found in the Vatican copy after <span class="italic">v. 
</span> 24 <span class="italic">chap. </span> 12.

I've looked at the Sword engine using the 'lookup' commandline example, 
and the output is identical on both the old and the new Sword build, so 
I'm assuming that the problem has to do with the way in which BibleTime 
handles the italics.  The module is built from a set of usfm files using 
usfm2osis.py followed by osis2mod on the resulting usfm file.

Any thoughts?

God bless,        Barry.
