You might want to look into the <a href="http://www.sf.net/projects/modulecreator">SwordModuleCreator</a>,
as discussed earlier on this list, which includes support for both THmL
and OSIS markups. It looks fairly straightforward, although I
have yet to run it. It might require an install of wxMSW, which
is available <a href="http://www.wxwidgets.org">here</a>. It
should help you to change the current plain text markup and make it a
module. Alternatively, if you prefer to do less manual work than
the copy & paste than would be required in SwordModuleCreator, you
could try writing a script in your favorite language... Python, Perl,
ViM, Emacs, etc. It *might* also be expedient to use the
"Replace" feature of a full-featured program, if you are familiar with
Regular Expressions but are baffled by different scripting
languages. It's your choice... there's quite a range of options
available. Of course, which one is best depends upon your own
skill and upon the format in which the plain text is already
found. Good luck!<br>
