Internal structure of a Genbook module made using xml2gbs

xml2gbs 1.0 is the OSIS/ThML/TEI General Book module creation tool for the SWORD Project.

The XML multilevel div element structure is converted by xml2gbs to a module internal structure that seems to deviate from the strict specification for OSIS. For example, the output of mod2imp BaptistConfession1646 contains the following IMP format references:

$$$
$$$/Confession
$$$/Confession/Introduction
$$$/Confession/Section 1
$$$/Confession/Section 2
$$$/Confession/Section 3

Observe that the level 1 div elements with type="majorSection" had osisID="Confession" and osisID="Appendix" in the source XML file. Likewise, the level 2 div elements with type="chapter" had osisID="Introduction" and osisID="Section 1", etc. The use of the / separator within the module structure is why this separator is required in each internal osisRef string in order to make it work as a link.

An attempt was made to analyze the status here. One limitation was that an original XML file was not known from the baptists. There were other formats like The New Orleans Baptist Theological seminary (NOBTS) pdf.

Tutorial test

The example/tutorial for this page was tried as explained here but was not completed successfully.

bug report cleanup

The subsection “Making a Genbook module” noted a Windows bug. Matthew 18:15-17 might be an option to handle a new bug. Bugs already circulating on the net maybe don't count for Matthew 18.

This article reported an issue already circulating about a bunch of warnings for a certain compiler due to the following lines of code below. Was the reference to this existing bug/issue?

#ifdef _MSC_VER
     #pragma warning( disable: 4251)
#endif

Source code analysis for xml2gbs

The source code for this utility was being analyzed here. The purpose was to solve the computational problem of why custom modules and the tutorial had not loaded successfully to a SWORD app.
