Hi Teus,<br><br>After some prompting, I had a look at the SWORD module. A few comments:<br>1. I was expecting this to be a commentary rather than a Bible (though this might be a gray area, as it seems to have the complete Biblical text with annotations). A similar one is the Geneva Bible Translation Notes, which includes the Biblical text as well as the notes, but is packaged as a commentary.<br>
<br>2. If it were to be a Bible, I would expect the annotations to be hidden away in translation notes.<br><br>3. Making the section headings pre-verse headings (e.g. Genesis 1:0) would probably be a good thing, as they really come before the chapter rather than being dropped into verse 1.<br>
<br>4. Having scripture references linked would be good too, though I realise this isn't straightforward as they are just loose in the text.<br><br>5. Almost all the verses seem to start with a ".". Is this what is expected? [I do see it in the original text, but that is a display style, with verses shown as "22.". This display style isn't going to carry over nicely when verse numbers are formatted differently, or even not shown at all].<br>
<br>6. Quite a few letters seem to be doubled in Matthew where they shouldn't be (e.g. thhe, bringgg, anotherr). This seems to be in the USFM source, and seems to apply to John as well, but not to Mark and only occasionally to Luke (I haven't checked any of the others).<br>
<br>7. Spacing around punctuation seems sometimes to be suspect (e.g. in John 11:50, "Christs death ,for thhe reconciliation" rather than "Christ's death, for the reconciliation" - here the spacing around the punctuation differs from the original, but the original does not have an apostrophe: I would still say it would be better with an apostrophe for use now, but it may not be considered accurate to the original text).<br>
<br>Not wishing to find fault with what must have been a large job, just to note problems as I see them so it can be improved.<br><br>Jon<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 4:37 AM, Teus Benschop <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:teusjannette@gmail.com">teusjannette@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

A SWORD module has been created and is now being uploaded to<br>
