Some Sword frontends handles bible: or sword: uri's. It causes necessity of existence of the standard for new and existing frontends. Bible uri standard also necessary for Bookmarks Standard.


Current Situation

Xiphos handles uri's in following format:

  • bible://KJV/Gen.1.1
  • bible:///Gen.1.1 -- an empty module between // and /
  • bible://Josephus//The+Antiquities+of+the+Jews/Book+1/Chapter+1/Section+4 -- non-bible modules, the 2nd double "//" is because keys for genbooks begin with /, so the first double slash is URL syntax, the 3rd / is the end of the module name, and the 4th / is the beginning of the genbook key
  • bible://WebstersLinked/EPHEMERIS -- dictionary references, dictionary keys have no slashes
