[sword-devel] General Sword question - java jni lib

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Dear Gary,

My apologies for not replying sooner.  Glad you got subscribed to
sword-devel.  Often you'll get a faster better reply from others on the
list.

So, you'll probably want at least a basic understanding of the SWORD
engine if you're planning to maintain a full featured Android client.
Though I understand wanting to get something put together quickly get
the ball rolling.

SWORD modules use all sorts of different markup internally.  When you
create your library factory, you can tell it what sort of markup you
want as output from RenderText.  I have not yet added a means in the JNI
wrapper to specify output markup; it is currently hardcoded to FMT_WEBIF
here:

http://www.crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/bindings/java-jni/jni/webmgr.hpp

This format is the same markup we output for our web frontend here:

http://crosswire.org/study/

I would think this should be close to what you want for a nice rich
output with formatting, footnotes, xrefs, clickable strongs, etc.

You can change this to FMT_PLAIN for plain text output, but this
wouldn't be nice in the long run.

StripText is for obtaining the same buffer used for a search.

Hope this helps,

Troy
