Internal structure of a Genbook module made using xml2gbs

xml2gbs 1.0 is the OSIS/ThML/TEI General Book module creation tool for the SWORD Project.

The XML multilevel div element structure is converted by xml2gbs to a module internal structure that seems to deviate from the strict specification for OSIS. For example, the output of mod2imp BaptistConfession1646 contains the following IMP format references:

$$$
$$$/Confession
$$$/Confession/Introduction
$$$/Confession/Section 1
$$$/Confession/Section 2
$$$/Confession/Section 3

Observe that the level 1 div elements with type="majorSection" had osisID="Confession" and osisID="Appendix" in the source XML file. Likewise, the level 2 div elements with type="chapter" had osisID="Introduction" and osisID="Section 1", etc. The use of the / separator within the module structure is why this separator is required in each internal osisRef string in order to make it work as a link.

Did the baptist already post the document in an xml format somewhere? A brief search located other formats such as pdf from The New Orleans Baptist Theological seminary (NOBTS), html from the reformed reader, html from the puritans mind, something for 32 Bit Winows Operating systems, etc. Also, the SWORD mod2osis utility discouraged recovering the original file (osis/xml). If the xml is not on the net, does it make sense to assist the baptist to publish an xml version that could then be read by SWORD? Individuals not belonging to a baptist church may not be the best candidates for editing the confession.

As a workaround to not knowing about the real xml file, an alternate investigation was attempted as described here.

bug report cleanup

The subsection “Making a Genbook module” noted a Windows bug. Clearing the bug from the CrossWire wiki as soon as possible will minimize commenting about Microsoft Corp.

Matthew 18:15-17 can be interpreted different ways. If interpreted as usable for organizations and individuals that are not likely to be believers, details of the perceived bug might be forwarded to Microsoft Corp (before being posted to wikipedia, Stack Overflow) to request a status. Web pages were observed for a Microsoft Bug Bounty Program and there were many Microsoft office locations around the world to contact one nearby.

Unable to forward the bug personally due to not knowing how to recover details from the CrossWire support page.
