Given the use of more and more mobile devices with SWORD frontends, a shared bookmark system would be a useful addition.

Feature wish list for format

  • nested folders
  • able to link to specific modules
  • has a way of adding free text at any given level
  • can link to verses, verse ranges, chapters, sections, paragraphes, subverse
  • should utilise as much as possible existing shared/shareable code

Current formats in use

Xiphos and BibleCS(?) use this format:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 <SwordBookmarks syntaxVersion="1.0">
   <Folder caption="Personal">
     <Folder caption="What must I do to be saved?">
       <Bookmark modulename="" key="Acts 16:31" moduledescription=" " description="Acts 16:31"/>
       <Bookmark modulename="" key="Eph 2:8,9" moduledescription=" " description="Eph 2:8,9"/>
       <Bookmark modulename="" key="Romans 1:16" moduledescription=" " description="Romans 1:16"/>
     </Folder>
     <Folder caption="What is the Gospel?">
        <Bookmark modulename="" key="1 Cor 15:1-4" moduledescription=" " description="1 Cor 15:1-4"/>
     </Folder>
  </Folder>
</SwordBookmarks>
