Step book, step2rtf, tooltip, RTF

Step2RTF.exe converts a Step book into an RTF file, which you can view or edit in any word processor, like Microsoft Word, Wordpad, or ToolTip NT. Although not an e-Sword utility specifically (as it does not convert the STEP book into e-Sword format), this utility is beneficial for e-Sword users with content locked inside legacy STEP books.

Options

Insert ÷ at section beginning: puts a placeholder symbol at the beginning of each Stepbook section (called viewable blocks). This is a tremendously powerful feature because it allows you to import the RTF file into Tooltip (or provide the sectioin dividers when converting to other Bible markup formats).

For example, verse by verse (or chapter by chapter) comments in a Step book commentary will usually be divided into viewable blocks (or sections). So, by inserting a ÷ symbol at the beginning of each section, (many times) you're very close to being able to import into ToolTip.

Sometimes, the ÷ is placed a line or two above where you need it. This is an easy fix with Microsoft Word's search and replace functionality. I intend to write a longer tutorial here, but you can simply use Word's search and replace feature to remove lines and bring the symbol to where you need it. Searching for ÷^13 -or- ÷^13^13 -or- ÷^p -or- ÷^p^p and replacing with ^13÷ -or- ^13^13÷ -or- ^p÷ -or- ^p^p÷ will sometimes be sufficient (you're just finding the line breaks/paragraph breaks and putting the symbol after them instead of before them). Other times, you may need to perform a regular expression search/replace.
Bottom line: there's almost never a valid reason to spend hours reformatting content when search and replace functionality can achieve the same result.

Strip \v0 and \v1 RTF Tags: Removes \v0 and \v1 RTF tags. Rich Text Format (RTF) uses tags hidden tags in the text to indicate bold, italics, paragraph formatting, etc. For example: \b Bible \b0 means Bible is bolded (\b activates the bold, \b0 deactivates the bold).

The \v tags are undocumented by Microsoft, the creator of the RTF standard. The \v tags meant something to the Step book format, but apparently do not mean anything to word processors. The \v tags disrupt Microsoft Word search and replace functionality in some instances. To eliminate the \v tags, check this box.

Now all we need is a way to convert STEP books to Nook and / or Kindle format.

Wonderful

 

Thank you

Export to HTML were wonderful.

Is there a way to script this tool?

 

Also...great tool!

A reply long time in coming.

From what I can gather, there isn't a tool that will do what you want directly. That said, there is a "work around" that one can use to create the outcome you want.

 

Step 1.

Convert the file to rtf format.

 

Step 2.

Load the rtf file in a word processor, i.e., LibreOffice Writer (MS Word, as far as I am aware does not support file conversion to an eBook format).

 

Step 3.

Click on File, then Export as, and then click on either Export as EPUB, or Export Directly as EPUB.

 

Then from there I have no idea of what to do. I guess that all you need to do is load the file in Nook or Kindle or some EPUB reader.
