Hello, and thank you for accepting my request to join the mailing list.
My name is Vince LaRue and I'm a missionary in Southern Chile. I use
Eloquent almost exclusively, despite the frequent crashes, and I'd like
to do whatever is in my limited (non-programmer) capacity to help the
SWORD project. <br>
<br>
I'm also the tech guy for what <span style="font-style:italic">used to
be</span> the Valera Bible Society (Sociedad Bíblica Valera) before it
was put on ice, and now the website, <a href="http://www.valera1865.org/" target="_blank">www.valera1865.org</a>, which I run,
is a source for information about the RV1865. We've had the Bible itself
back in print for 17 years now, but the various digital versions have
been plagued with sundry typographical issues. I'm fixing that.<br>
<br>
We're basically done with a complete, verse-by-verse overhaul of the
text, and I have it in a cleaned-up verse-per-line format in basic HTML
(each verse enclosed in <p> tags) broken down into 23 text files. I
would like to produce a high-quality OSIS version that I can continue
to work on, adding various tags throughout the text, but the goal is to
get it ready for distribution immediately. <br>
<br>
What are the steps that I need to take to make this happen? Are there
utilities that can convert what I have to OSIS-compatible XML? Here's a
sample:<br>
<br>
<p>EL EVANGELIO DE NUESTRO SEÑOR JESU CRISTO SEGÚN</p><br>
<br>
<h1 align="left" >SAN MATEO</h1><br>
<br>
<p> CAPITULO 1</p><br>
<br>
<p>1 Libro de la generación de Jesu Cristo, hijo de David, hijo de
Abraham.</p><br>
<br>
<p>2 Abraham engendró a Isaac; e Isaac engendró a Jacob; y Jacob
engendró a Júdas, y a sus hermanos;</p><br>
<br>
<p>3 Y Júdas engendró de Tamar a Fares y a Zara; y Fares engendró a
Esrom; y Esrom engendró a Aram;</p><br>
<br>
Thank you again for your time, and I look forward to working with you
all.<br>
<br>
In Christ,<br>
<br>
Vince LaRue<br>
