==== Image Module Support ====
 +
SWORD proper does not really "support" any particular image formats. The engine delivers text on demand to the applications, some of which incidentally contains references to image content. The engine itself isn't really aware that images are part of the deal, other than that some of the filters happen to scribble the right target markup, which is agnostic to what image format is referenced.

==== Module Information ====
 +
Some front-ends can display the complete information from the module's [[DevTools:conf Files|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.

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 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:

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

  1. ↑ Dates use locale appropriate date representation. Month names if used are localized, too.
  2. ↑ 2.0 2.1 Exportable as a SWORD module
  3. ↑ These are user-created and user-editable modules to contain general content. Initially conceived as simple prayer lists, they have expanded to include daily journals and topic-outline content. The user can maintain prayer lists, or prepare sermons, or write any structured content desired.
  4. ↑ Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew and other modules Right-to-Left scripts are displayed from right-to-left, properly aligned and correctly shaped, and with adequate implementation of the bidirectional algorithm.
  5. ↑ See Examples of Complex Rendering.
  6. ↑ The application can display correctly Brahmic, Indic, and related scripts (or other scripts of similar layout) - subject to availability of adequate fonts and standardized Unicode
  7. ↑ 7.0 7.1 To the extent that Uniscribe supports a given script
  8. ↑ Only when compiled with libsword ICU.
  9. ↑ Does not use ICU.
  10. ↑ Where the transliteration data is encoded within the module markup.
  11. ↑ Appears to support only Greek and Hebrew, and to be limited to a small subset of texts.
  12. ↑ Applicable only for modules with GlobalOptionFilter=OSISLemma or GlobalOptionFilter=ThMLLemma. The KJV module is one such example. See DevTools:conf Files.
  13. ↑ Applicable only for modules with GlobalOptionFilter=OSISGlosses or (deprecated) GlobalOptionFilter=OSISRuby. See Japanese Bibles. See DevTools:conf Files.
  14. ↑ Notes appear in popup. Extremely long notes may appear truncated in the popup.
  15. ↑ i.e. For reference elements with attribute type="x-glossary" ...
  16. ↑ Display these segments by some suitable method, for modules that have GlobalOptionFilter=OSISMorphSegmentation in the configuration file. An example is the WLC module.
  17. ↑ Currently, only some JSword based front-ends seem to support this feature. The SWORD engine has the switch available, but no change in output is effected.
  18. ↑ e.g. For module OHSB or WLC - click color code Hebrew from the cog menu.
  19. ↑ Applicable only for modules that have GlobalOptionFilter=ThMLVariants or GlobalOptionFilter=OSISVariants. For a front-end without proper support for this feature, the default is that both readings are displayed. See DevTools:conf Files.
  20. ↑ Module options context menu includes Variants: Primary/Secondary reading as well as All readings. The default is that only the Primary reading is displayed.
  21. ↑ Modules with a different book order may have navigation problems in some front-ends.
  22. ↑ As of version 1.9.0 which provides mapping between Synodal, German, Leningrad, Vulgate, KJV, and NRSV versifications and adds the IBT repository as a download location.
  23. ↑ PS does not yet support all the latest versifications, as it has not been updated for more recent releases of the SWORD API.
  24. ↑ 24.0 24.1 Av11n is supported as from release 1.7.3
  25. ↑ Including converting from one versification to another for Synodal, German, Leningrad, Vulgate, KJV and NRSV.
  26. ↑ This implicitly requires support for av11n, yet showing DC books also requires being able to navigate to them via the passage selector, etc.
  27. ↑ For modules such as SP (Samaritan Pentateuch) that are configured with GlobalOptionFilter=OSISXlit.
  28. ↑ For modules that include the abbreviation property in the configuration file (e.g. Most of the modules in the IBT repository).

  12. ↑ PocketSword module manager UI can add an FTP source.
  13. ↑ Xiphos module manager UI can add/remove repositories with either FTP or HTTP protocol.
  14. ↑ This feature is more relevant in mobile devices.
  15. ↑ PocketSword supports installing an archived module via a locally networked PC through a random port number.
  16. ↑ Ideally, this should be given before remote repositories data is refreshed!
  17. ↑ Warning is given once per session when the user is either about to install a module or before refreshing remote resources.
  18. ↑ Xiphos will extract info from repository if provided
  19. ↑ 19.0 19.1 19.2 19.3 Installed modules are highlighted
  20. ↑ The user is now shown the option if the module is already installed.
  21. ↑ When a module is installed that obsoletes an already installed module.
  22. ↑ This refers to the ability to select which of the installed modules are listed for selection, without having to uninstall any modules.
  23. ↑ Already installed modules are shown, but greyed out (not selectable for installation)
  24. ↑ Modules can be sorted for installed/uninstalled
  25. ↑ Modules are displayed in 2 columns: 'available for download' and 'installed'
  26. ↑ Modules are sorted by language code, though modules in the current user language are shown first.
  27. ↑ Languages are displayed in their own locale.
  28. ↑ Packages a module into SWORD's shareable "Raw Zip" format.
  29. ↑ This facilitates authors combining Bibles and commentaries as a pair. When a user opens one, the front-end UI asks the user to open the other. For modules with Companion=ModuleName in the conf file
  30. ↑ New SWORD feature currently being trialed in Bishop.
  31. ↑ Where a redistributable font is specified in the module conf file, installing the module can also install the font.
  32. ↑ The font may be included within the module's zip file, under a "fonts" sub-directory, or else a URL can be used to specify the font.
  33. ↑ Drops any module that requires a SWORD version beyond the engine's capability.
  34. ↑ 34.0 34.1 34.2 34.3 JSword has never cared about the field. It represents what the SWORD engine can and cannot handle. Rather it has a different mechanism. It examines each field in the conf for unsupported values and marks those where it makes a difference with “Unsupported”.
  35. ↑ 4.0.7 and later.
  36. ↑ Dropped modules are listed in the consoleLog.txt file in the MK user profile after the app closes.

Image Module Support

SWORD proper does not really "support" any particular image formats. The engine delivers text on demand to the applications, some of which incidentally contains references to image content. The engine itself isn't really aware that images are part of the deal, other than that some of the filters happen to scribble the right target markup, which is agnostic to what image format is referenced.

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.

  1. ↑ STEP's layout is so different to others that it is hard to compare. The user is given a choice between showing 1 panel or two, and whether to collapse the bookmark functionality or not. The user can also move the info/lexicon popup. Since all searches and Bible passages happen on different areas of the page, there is limited scope for layout.
  2. ↑ Open text panes can by user choice be linked or unlinked and will then move together to the next reference or stay at different references
  3. ↑ Only linked at the moment
  4. ↑ Several bible +/-commentary texts can be displayed in a set of parallel columns
  5. ↑ This is a requested feature for Ezra Bible App.
  6. ↑ Multiple tabs can be opened with each tab holding a different bible book / tagged verse list / search results.
  7. ↑ Used if the font is installed
  8. ↑ The fonts are set in stone on a language basis
  9. ↑ Global settings adjustment within the app. Currently (as of 2020-04-25), the +/- is not working in iPadOS.
  10. ↑ Font size is also adjustable per module.
  11. ↑ The fonts are set in stone on a language basis
