From paper to sword
Printed editions are 'tagged' using these special characters:
| Textual | Unicode value[1] | French | English | Examples | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ✱ | U+2731 | Alinéa | Large space between paragraph. | Gen.49.2 Gen.49.4 Lev.13.59 | 490 |
| ☆ | U+2606 | Grand alinéa | Larger space between paragraph. | Gen.2.3 Gen.2.25 Exod.1.7 | 504 |
| ★ | U+2605 | Petit alinéa (texte poétique) | Small space between paragraph (poetics) | Ps.41.13 Ps.72.20 Isa.35.10 | 17 |
- ↑ The default module font in some front-end applications may not display these special symbols. It would therefore make sense to specify a font that does in the conf file.
Divine Names are tagged as:
| Textual | Unicode value | Original | Examples | Frequency |

About years
John Nelson Darby did the initial french translation. The new testament was first published in 1859. He did some corrections in editions published in 1872, 1875 and 1878. The old testament was first published in 1885 (he died in 1882).
The last printed edition was done in 1975; a major change was to update chapter number from roman numerals to arabic numerals. There is no known significant modification in all the editions done since Darby's dead.
Bibliquest
Currently, the last revision of the CrossWire beta module FreJND is version 1.16 dated 2008-06-13.
According to the FreJND conf file, the Text Source is from Bibliquest.
There are two whole Bible downloads available from Bibliquest:
Their most recently updated text (dated 2009-06-02) contains dozens of corrections. The FreJND beta module therefore needs to be updated accordingly.
Versification
French Bibles generally have versification differences compared to the KJV. The current module does not specify a versification in the conf file. The output from emptyvss indicates that there is a real issue that needs fixing:
Leviticus 6:24-30 Numbers 12:16 I Samuel 23:29 Job 38:39-41 Job 41:26-34 Psalms 13:6 Ezekiel 20:45-49 Hosea 11:12 Jonah 1:17 Matthew 23:14 Acts 8:37 Acts 15:34 II Corinthians 13:14
Many of these are locations detailed in [1].
Bug reported
- double dagger symbol (U+2021) in Acts 16:30 reported by David Haslam corrected in 1.17
- Hebrew using "Psaume" instead of "Chapter" reported by Etienne corrected in 1.17
- Typo in Numbers 33. 51 ("paya" instread of "pays") reported by Etienne corrected upstream and in 1.17
