I agree, that having some way of keeping track of which tags are currently open would be great.

Hi gang,<br>
<br>
I just wanted to touch base with where I'm at with the poetry stuff.<br>
<br>
Taking Ben's code as a guide, I've ported it across to SWORD and it's kinda working. You can see my current version on bit bucket.<br>
<br>
Note that this current version is very similar to the patch I sent through a few days ago, but I'm going to suggest that we don't implement this in SWORD just yet.<br>
<br>
The reason being that I have discovered that we need to incorporate Ben's hack to work around the fact that modules may not be properly formed OSIS & may contain <l>s outside of <lg>s. This then simply makes things look messy and so I have had to write more code to work around this, but I've done this in Objective-C as I couldn't figure out how to save state between subsequent calls to renderText().<br>
<br>
Note that I now also always retrieve verse 0 for each and every chapter in order to gather any required formatting that is missing from verse 1, but as verse 0 often is simply "<br />", I check for this and simply discard verse 0 if that's what it is. :)<br>
<br>
As it appears that the ESV is going to be ready soon, perhaps an option is for us to add checking of <l> inside <lg>s as part of our OSIS validation and hold off incorporating any poetry code into SWORD until we know our modules are good enough?<br>
<br>
However, what is the "proper" way of encoding these indented lines in OSIS? The WEB module opens its <l> tags at the end of each verse for the line starting in the next verse. This seems weird to me, and I would have thought that it would make more sense to start the verse with the <l> as that is where the text corresponding to that <l> is located?<br>
<br>
So, yes, for me this is revealing more inconsistencies between modules and how they have been constructed. And as I don't particularly know what is the "correct" way of forming the OSIS, I don't know which is the "correct" way to be coding this.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks, ybic<br>
nic... :)<br>
