<p>Dear Tobias,</p>
<p>Yes, our StrongsGreek and StrongsHebrew modules need work. I
know the Xiphos repo has improved Strongs modules. I was actually
surprised to see that our Strongs modules are still not using any
SourceType entry in the .conf file. They should be updated to use
TEI, as this is what we decided to use for lexicon markup, but I
guess never updated our modules.</p>
<p>Regarding your use case. In SWORD, the common way for parsing
out and making available useful information which might be found
in a module entry is the EntryAttributes mechanism. This would
allow requests like:</p>
module.getEntryAttributes()["Word"]["Transcription"]["Main"];<br>
module.getEntryAttributes()["Word"]["Transcription"]["Phonetic"];<br>
module.getEntryAttributes()["Definition"]["Body"]["Text"];<br>
module.getEntryAttributes()["Reference"]["000"]["Text"];<br>
module.getEntryAttributes()["Reference"]["000"]["EntryKey"];<br>
module.getEntryAttributes()["Reference"]["001"]["Text"];<br>
module.getEntryAttributes()["Reference"]["001"]["EntryKey"];
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you haven't used EntryAttributes in SWORD yet, have a look at
something like the KJV with the tool:
sword/examples/cmdline/lookup. This utility prints out all the
entry attributes associated with an entry (among other things).</p>
<p>You may have noticed, above, one quirk with SWORD Entry
Attributes in that they are always referenced by a 3 level key.
Searches are done using / notation with empty segments and
trailing '.' designating wildcards, e.g., Word//Lemma./G1234/.
This would find any entry in the KJV with an EntryAttribute having
strongs G1234 in the "Lemma.*" entries for any Word number.</p>
<p>So, to implement what you want, I would suggest we update our
StrongsGreek and StrongsHebrew with markup and use info from a
source we know we can designate the copyright information (this is
my concern from other lexicon data out there). We could talk with
Tyndale about the pedigree of their data for their Greek and
Hebrew Strong definitions and possibly finalize a module we could
share, or improve on ours with data from various sources we can
cite, like <a
href="http://crosswire.org/svn/sword-tools/trunk/flashtools/">http://crosswire.org/svn/sword-tools/trunk/flashtools/</a>
for adding "RealGreek" and "RealHebrew" word headings to our
current lexica.</p>
<p>What we should really start with is a TEI markup of our current
lexica, if we decide to improve our current modules.</p>
<p>THEN, with markup in place, parsing the entries into entry
attributes would be really simple by adding a filter... in fact,
looking for an example, I strangely found:</p>
<p><a
href="http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/src/modules/filters/greeklexattribs.cpp">http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/src/modules/filters/greeklexattribs.cpp</a></p>
<p>I wonder if we use this filter on any module, currently...</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I'm currently working on Strong's support for Ezra Project.</p>
<p>I've been implementing a Strong's parsing functionality that
enables flexible formatting of the Strong's definitions (from
StrongsGreek and StrongsHebrew) in my frontend.<br>
Without this functionality the frontend would have to "dump" the
definition of a Strong's key and it wouldn't have freedom in how
the definition is formatted / layed out.<br>
Having this functionality available, the frontend can work with
individual parts of the Strong's definition and apply specific
formatting and layout.<br>
The parsing divides a Strong's entry into:<br>
- Transcription<br>
- Phonetic transcription<br>
- Definition<br>
- List of references<br>
<br>
In case of Ezra Project the formatting looks like this now: <a

moz-do-not-send="true">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tobias-klein/ezra-project/master/screenshots/strongs_formatting_example.png</a><br>
<br>
I'm pasting the definition of my StrongsEntry class below, which
is the base for this implementation (see <a

<p>Now I'm wondering whether something like this could actually be
useful as part of the Sword engine, since the use case of
"flexible Strong's formatting" may also be relevant for other
frontends.<br>
