<DIV><B>Subject:</B> [sword-devel] ChiUns module contains superfluous spaces
(ANSI 32)</DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>While displaying the simplified Chinese Union Version module
ChiUns using<BR>Xiphos, I have observed that there is at least one ordinary ANSI
space<BR>between each CJK ideogram.<BR><BR>This is confirmed as being module
content, rather than a rendering artefact.<BR><BR>I exported the contents using
MOD2IMP, and then removed all XML tags (e.g.<BR>for Strongs & Morph) from a
copy of the raw IMP text file.<BR><BR>It has many such spaces on every
line. e.g.<BR><BR>$$$Genesis 1:1<BR>起 初 ， 神 创 造
天 地 。<BR>$$$Genesis 1:2<BR>地 是 空 虚 混 沌
， 渊 面 黑 暗 ； 神 的 灵 运 行 在 水
面 上 。<BR>$$$Genesis 1:3<BR> 神 说 ： 要 冇
光 ， 就 冇 了 光 。<BR>$$$Genesis 1:4<BR> 神 看
光 是 好 的 ， 就 把 光 暗 分 幵 了 。<BR>$$$Genesis
1:5<BR> 神 称 光 为 昼 ， 称 暗 为
夜 。 冇 晚 上 ， 冇 早 晨 ， 这 是 头 一 日 。<BR>The
only spaces that should be in any Chinese text are the ideographic
space<BR>U+3000, <BR>as the general style is for the CJK ideograms to appear as
on a grid<BR>pattern. <BR>cf. The ideographic space is largely used to precede
the Divine Name. i.e.<BR>" 神"<BR><BR>The ordinary spaces probably
originated from the preprocessing used to add<BR>tags for Strongs & Morph
markup.<BR>They shouldn't be there. The same passage should appear like
this:<BR><BR>$$$Genesis 1:1<BR>起初 神创造天地。<BR>$$$Genesis
1:2<BR>地是空虚混沌，渊面黑暗； 神的灵运行在水面上。<BR>$$$Genesis
1:3<BR> 神说：“要有光。”就有了光。<BR>$$$Genesis 1:4<BR> 神看光是好的，就把光暗分开了。<BR>$$$Genesis
1:5<BR> 神称光为“昼”，称暗为“夜”。有晚上，有早晨，这是头一日。<BR>I imagine the same symptom occurs for
the traditional Chinese Union module,<BR>and for our other Chinese modules,
though I haven't yet researched this.<BR><BR>I know that Chris intends
eventually to remake these modules from a better<BR>text source (see JIRA bugs
for modules), yet I thought this aspect warrants<BR>a wider
understanding.<BR><BR>btw. I'm not an expert on Chinese, but I have
acquired quite a few Chinese<BR>friends and contacts in the course of my work on
Go Bible.<BR><BR>David Haslam<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>-- <BR>View this message in
