[sword-devel] Developing a Module

[Daniel Glassey]

Ouch, doesn't sound like a nice way to try and update the text. It 
_may_ be possible to extract the text from each pdf and then make a 
new module from that but the normal free tools for that like pdf2html 
don't handle non-roman scripts well - it generates rubbish.

But I don't think that Mr Pope really wants to encourage people to 
extract the text that way anyway. Is there no way he can give you the 
text in a more workable format?

I don't know for sure but I assume that the original module was 
created using the html version
http://thaipope.org/webbible/index.html

Is there any chance that it will be updated with the latest text and 
that you can use that?

Regards,
Daniel
