Talk:Converting SFM Bibles to OSIS

Paratext USFM stylesheet, version 2.2

There has been an update to the Paratext USFM stylesheet, version 2.2, Updated October 17, 2008. See [1]. This update post-dates the making of Go Bible Creator version 2.3.2 which was the first to provide some support for USFM as source text format. CrossWire programmers who make use of the USFM stylesheet standards will need to take note of the changelog. I have also flagged this to the SWORD Dev mailing list.

I suggest that CrossWire programmers who make reference to external standards make use of the excellent service provided by http://www.changedetection.com/ to be alerted by email when there are changes to websites like this. David Haslam 14:46, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Paratext export to XML

The UBS page about Paratext includes this sentence, "Paratext also provides function for exporting text to RTF and XML formats." I have been informed that these XML export formats include OSIS in either the milestoned form (BSP) or the containerized form (BCV). Has anyone in CrossWire compared the direct Paratext export XML formats with what we can obtain using either the Snowfall software conversion tool or the CrossWire conversion script?
