Tutorial:Compiling & Installing SWORD

2018-06-15T21:31:35Z

Chrisburrell: /* Debian or Ubuntu */

==Aims==

This page is intended to help anyone who needs to get started obtaining and compiling the very latest SWORD source code, and then installing and testing it on their machine, on a Linux (or possibly other Unix-like) operating system.

For Windows users, refer to [[Tutorial:Compiling & Installing SWORD on Windows]].

''NOTE: This process includes making Internet connections to crosswire.org, to download SWORD source code and a sample SWORD module.''

==Introduction==

There are four main steps involved:

* Installing all the necessary software packages
* Downloading the latest development SWORD source code
* Compiling and installing SWORD
* Testing that the new SWORD installation is basically working

All of these can be scripted for a specific Linux distribution, and some sample scripts are provided below. An explanation of each step is also provided, in case you want to understand what the script does (!), or there is no script for your particular Linux distribution.

==Scripts for some Linux distributions==

The bash scripts below use [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudo sudo] to become root when necessary, see below for more details on that.

===Debian or Ubuntu===

'''Note that official SWORD packages exist, please only use this script if you truly need to compile from source, and do NOT have the packaged version of SWORD installed.'''

<pre>
#!/bin/bash
PKGS="subversion build-essential autotools-dev pkg-config libz-dev libclucene-dev libicu-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libtool m4 automake"
sudo apt-get install $PKGS -y
svn co http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk sword
cd sword
./autogen.sh && ./usrinst.sh --enable-shared && make && sudo make install && sudo make install_config
</pre>

===Fedora 10 or Fedora 11===

'''Note that official SWORD packages exist, please only use this script if you truly need to compile from source, and do NOT have the packaged version of SWORD installed.'''

<pre>
#!/bin/bash
PKGS="subversion gcc-c++ make libtool icu zlib-devel clucene-core-devel libicu-devel libcurl-devel"
sudo yum install $PKGS -y
svn co http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk sword
cd sword
./autogen.sh && ./usrinst.sh --enable-shared && make && sudo make install && sudo make install_config
</pre>

===Mandriva===
<pre>
#!/bin/bash
PKGS="colorsvn gcc-c++ make libtool icu zlib1-devel libclucene-devel libicu-devel libcurl-devel automake"
sudo urpmi $PKGS
svn co http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk sword
cd sword
./autogen.sh && ./usrinst.sh --enable-shared && make && sudo make install && sudo make install_config
</pre>

===Red Hat Enterprise Linux or CentOS===

'''Official Packages now exist. Please use these if possible.'''

Note this script is a little more complex than most, because RHEL 5.x and CentOS 5.x lack the '''cluccene-core-devel''' library package. This means the script must manually download a source RPM package, rebuild it and install it, before it can work with the SWORD source code. And before it can do that, it has to make sure there is an appropriate setup for building RPMs from source in place.

<pre>
#!/bin/bash
PKGS="subversion gcc-c++ make libtool icu zlib-devel libicu-devel libcurl-devel findutils rpm-build"
sudo yum install $PKGS -y
if [ ! -f ~/.rpmmacros ]; then
cat >>~/.rpmmacros <<EOF
%_topdir ~/rpm
%_tmppath %{_topdir}/tmp
EOF
mkdir -p ~/rpm/{BUILD,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS,tmp} ~/rpm/RPMS/{athlon,i386,i486,i586,i686,noarch}
fi
rpmbuild --rebuild http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/source/SRPMS/clucene-0.9.21-1.fc10.src.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh `find ~/rpm/RPMS/ -type f -name "*clucene*rpm" ! -name "*-debuginfo*"`
svn co http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk sword
cd sword
./autogen.sh && ./usrinst.sh --enable-shared && make && sudo make install && sudo make install_config
</pre>

==Test script==

The is a very basic test; in particular it does not check indexed search functions at all.

<pre>
#!/bin/bash
export SWORD_PATH=~/.sword
mkdir -p $SWORD_PATH/mods.d
echo yes |installmgr -init
echo yes |installmgr -sc
echo yes |installmgr -r CrossWire
echo yes |installmgr -ri CrossWire KJV
unset SWORD_PATH
installmgr -l
diatheke -b KJV -k Jn 3:16
</pre>
This test script should output (after a lot of debugging information):
<pre>
John 3:16:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

(KJV)
</pre>

==Installing necessary software packages==

Starting from a fairly minimal Linux installation, a C++ compiler and several other libraries and tools must be added to the system before compiling SWORD. These come in packages. The command to install packages varies between different Linux distributions. A few examples follow:

;Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS:
sudo yum install <list of packages>
;Debian, Ubuntu, Mint:
sudo apt-get install <list of packages>
;Mandriva:
sudo urpmi <list of packages>

These packaging tools will automatically install additional dependent packages, so the ones you request will work once installed.

Package names vary too, but generally the following packages must be installed:

* subversion (a tool used to obtain the latest SWORD source code, see below)
* the GNU C++ compiler, often in a package named g++ or gcc-c++
* make
* libtool
* icu
* zlib-devel (sometimes named zlib1-devel or zlib1g-dev)
* clucene-core-devel (sometimes named libclucene-dev)
* libicu-devel (sometimes named libicu-dev)
* libcurl-devel (named libcurl4-gnutls-dev on Debian-derived systems)

These will generally automatically "pull in" other necessary packages such as binutils, automake and autoconf as dependencies.

==Downloading the SWORD source code==

The single command <pre>svn co http://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk sword</pre> will download the current development code of SWORD, into a directory called sword. Once the command finishes, you should be able to do <pre>cd sword</pre> and look at all the source code you just downloaded.

==Compiling and installing SWORD==

The INSTALL file contains all the details, but if all is well, after cd sword (i.e., from inside the SWORD source code directory) the command line <pre>./autogen.sh && ./usrinst.sh --enable-shared && make</pre> to configure and compile SWORD.

If this fails, make sure all the necessary packages are installed on your system, and after that, please ask for help in the [http://crosswire.org/forums/ Crosswire forums] or on the sword-devel mailing list.

To install SWORD, after successfully compiling SWORD, you can do <pre>sudo make install && sudo make install_config</pre> to install SWORD and a default configuration file on your machine.

==Testing a new SWORD installation==

As a very basic test, you can download and install the KJV SWORD "module" and then check that the command line bible reader diatheke can read a verse from it. The commands to do this (using the usual bash shell) are:

<pre>
export SWORD_PATH=~/.sword
mkdir -p $SWORD_PATH/mods.d

echo yes |installmgr -init
echo yes |installmgr -sc
echo yes |installmgr -r CrossWire
echo yes |installmgr -ri CrossWire KJV
installmgr -l
diatheke -b KJV -k Jn 3:16
</pre>

If that displays a bunch of text, and then something very similar to:
<pre>
John 3:16:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

(KJV)
</pre>

then the SWORD installation is basically working.

== Xiphos ==
As from '''Xiphos 4.0.5''', the build requires that '''icu-i18n''' be included by package builders.

The Fedora .spec will need:
Build-Requires: libicu-devel
The Ubuntu packaging will need to gain a similar directive.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:40:44Z

Chrisburrell: /* Help System */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

:''A blank entry means that it is unknown whether a feature is present. Footnotes are automatically numbered''.

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:40:33Z

Chrisburrell: /* Bookmarking, Tagging, Listing and Notes */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

:''A blank entry means that it is unknown whether a feature is present. Footnotes are automatically numbered''.

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:39:17Z

Chrisburrell: /* Image Module Support */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:36:52Z

Chrisburrell: /* Windowing and Text Display */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:33:14Z

Chrisburrell: /* Print menu */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:32:00Z

Chrisburrell: /* Localization */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

:''A blank entry means that it is unknown whether a feature is present. Footnotes are automatically numbered''.

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:30:33Z

Chrisburrell: /* Localization */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:26:31Z

Chrisburrell: /* Localization */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:23:59Z

Chrisburrell: /* Localization */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:23:33Z

Chrisburrell: /* Localization */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:19:43Z

Chrisburrell: /* Print menu */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:19:00Z

Chrisburrell: /* Help System */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:17:41Z

Chrisburrell: /* Session and State Management */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:16:58Z

Chrisburrell: /* Session and State Management */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:13:36Z

Chrisburrell: /* Operating Systems and Portability */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:09:47Z

Chrisburrell: /* Search and Dictionary */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:07:29Z

Chrisburrell: /* Search and Dictionary */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.

Choosing a SWORD program

2013-08-25T12:06:26Z

Chrisburrell: /* Windowing and Text Display */

==Introduction==
This page needs to be maintained to give fair coverage of the SWORD front-end programs.

Do feel free to edit this page to make it more complete and better organized.

The purpose of this page is to help an end user decide which SWORD front-end program is the best for them. The first consideration is which programs are available for the user. This can be found at [http://www.crosswire.org CrossWire's home page]. Once the user has narrowed down which programs are available, the following can be used to focus on the best program.

It is recommended that each user try all the available programs. It is likely that one will resonate with the user and work best for that user.

As this page is oriented to program features, it does not distinguish whether the underlying engine is SWORD or JSword.

Some applications have a different CrossWire development code name than the public name.

==Features Common to All SWORD Front-end Applications==
Most SWORD Front-end programs have these features:
* Uses Unicode (though some front-ends don't yet support 5.0 or later)
* Released under an open source license
* Powerful search syntax - wildcard, regex and often also clucene indexed searches (fuzzy and proximity searches + searches for Strong's, stemming etc) within preset and customized scopes.
* Strong's, morphological info, cross references and footnotes
* All front-ends listed below are undergoing more or less active development.
* Verse and block layout
* Image support in all types of modules
* Localization - all front-ends are designed to be readily translatable. Many are translated in various languages.

==Side-by-Side Comparison of Notable SWORD Front-end Applications==
:''This is a work in progress. It may not be 100% accurate. As front-ends are further developed, some items may become out of date. Please help to keep this page useful by editing it to the best of your knowledge''.

=== Legends ===
To keep the tables below compact, the SWORD programs are identified by abbreviations. Here is an explanation of each of them:
*'''AB''' — [http://code.google.com/p/and-bible/ and-bible] based on JSword, for Android OS
*'''ABS''' — [http://www.kiyut.com/products/alkitab/ Alkitab Bible Study] based on JSword, uses Java 5+
*'''BD''' — [[Frontends:BibleDesktop|BibleDesktop]] based on JSword, uses Java 1.4.2+
*'''BT''' — [[Frontends:BibleTime|BibleTime]] uses cross-platform Qt toolkit
*'''BPB''' — [http://bpbible.com BPBible] uses wxPython
*'''FB''' — [http://thegoan.com/firebible FireBible] based on JSword, runs in FireFox as an extension
*'''MS''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword]] ''series 1''
*'''MS2''' — [[Frontends:MacSword|MacSword 2.0]] ''released 2009-10-12'' – subsequently renamed as '''Eloquent'''
*'''PS''' — [http://crosswire.org/pocketsword/ PocketSword] ''v1.x.x''
*'''SPW''' — [[Frontends:BibleCS|The SWORD Project for Windows]]
*'''SB''' — [http://swordwarrior.net/ SwordBible]
*'''ST''' — [http://www.stepbible.org/ STEP Bible]
*'''Xi''' — [[Frontends:Xiphos|Xiphos]] (formerly [[Frontends:GnomeSword|GnomeSword]])
*'''XS''' — [http://code.google.com/p/xulsword/ xulsword]

==== Module Information ====
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's conf file. Others can display hardly anything at all of this information. Please use this section to record what each program can display for module information, and how this is accessed.

Please state whether the front-end can display the '''ShortPromo''' link, if present in the module conf file. Except for locked modules, this is the only configuration item that allows HTML.
