Using Diatheke ?

Is there a way to get Diatheke to leave out each verse? I.e. diatheke Jo 3:10-17 has each verse labelled

John 3:10

John 3:11

etc.

Can I tell Diatheke to skip the verses in the output?

Ultimately I want a command line option do something like

diatheke -noverse (scripture) | festival --tts

to speak any portion of scripture. (can set a reading plan up as a daily alarm, etc. )

(if it matters I'm using linux. PCLinuxOS 2007 to be more specific.)

Stale news !

The News section on the main page has only three items from eight years ago!!!! Anyone object to removing this section? David Haslam 14:59, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Nobody objected - so deletion will be done. David Haslam 15:20, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Workaround for RTF format

Here's a workaround for the missing color table in diatheke RTF output format.

Using an ordinary Unicode compliant text editor, insert the following as line 2 into the file.

{\colortbl {\cf0;\cf1;\cf2;\cf3\red0\green0\blue0;\cf4;\cf5;\cf6\red255\green0\blue0;}}

Then save the file. When opened afterwards using WordPad, the red letter text should display correctly.

Command line option to toggle morpheme segmentation?

There seems to be no command line option to toggle morpheme segmentation for modules in which the .conf file includes:

GlobalOptionFilter=OSISMorphSegmentation

This deficiency needs to be fixed. --David Haslam (talk) 13:40, 24 December 2017 (MST)
