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.

Example OSIS Genbook - test

The example/tutorial was developed a little more, but is not yet complete as described at this link. No table of contents was observed for this module in the bishop app after installation.

bug report duration and focus

The subsection “Making a Genbook module” noted a Windows bug. Some details for the bug could help know when the bug report can be removed. Identifying the bug's details may help understand when the fix has been completed, and when the bug can be removed. Otherwise, the bug's duration could be too long (Leviticus 19:15-16).

If the bug was reported to the crosswire support page, the description might allow re-posting it to an applicable software board too, for more advice. It is currently unclear whether there was a bug report. --Gregs650 (talk) 19:23, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Root node links not found

Three of the 4 links in the root element were "not found" when entered into a web browser. Another page predicted this, that the domain www.bibletechnologies.net will no longer work.

OSIS newbies might not be prepared for the browser to report "not found". One reason includes stack overflow answers. One stack overflow post what is the use of xsi:schemaLocation? had a question about a root tag <beans ...>. An answer at the end by Mojun Zhu said "If you go into any of those locations, then you will find what is defined in those schema." --Gregs650 (talk) 19:49, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
