Hi MJ

I have a verse that ends with bold text. When the verse ends with a bold letter, the subsequent verses all are shown in bold, until there is another bold word or character. At which point the bold will be switched back off and continue as normal.
The results across a parallel view of multiple bible translations yeilds interesting results as well.

That is not a problem with e-Sword, but with the text itself.

E-Sword modules use RTF codes to describe format. In RTF, there are two ways to display some text in bold:

\b This is bold text \b0
{\b This is bold text}

In that text you mention, the closing tag (either \b0 or }) is missing, so the program interprets that all the text that follows that is bold too, until it finds some tag that resets the text to non-bold.

That's the reason why any format in the text (bold, italics, blue, red, or whatever) must be closed in the same verse, even if the next verse has the same format. I mean, if you have, for example, several verses in italics, every one of them must begin with the italics tag and close the italics at the end of the verse, not of the whole passage.

Hi

I have updated the upload including a sqlite3.dll that was missing.

Now it should work without problem.

Hi All

I have just uploaded an updated and much improved version of the BibleCompare (ComparaBiblias) tool, written by the Spanish International e-Sword Team:
http://www.biblesupp...-bible-compare/

It compares any two Bible modules and finds all the differences in missing, additional, duplicated or blank verses, as well as percentage differences in verse content. All e-Sword 8 .bbl and e-Sword 9/10 .bblx files are supported, included .bbl password-protected files (provided you know the password).

The native interface was in Spanish, but it will open in English as long as the accompanying .ini file is in the same folder as the .exe.

Most Bible modules out there contain verse numbering errors, so every module builder should use this tool before publishing their modules.

Carlos

Hi Bradley

According to the emailer, when the MLV is selected, only the first two verses of each chapter will show up.  When the MLV is removed, all the verses are visible per chapter.  I tested this personally, and discovered the same issue.

I have downloaded (just now) both the MLV and ToY+, and am not having this problem. Can you please point me to the chapters where this is happening?

Carlos

Hi Searcher

Probably will have to change the color of the text.

I have tried \scaps sometimes for Bibles that use "LORD" (in small capitals) instead of "Jehovah", but e-Sword doesn't support them, so I have ended up using regular capitals.

Since Jon mentioned that a request have been made that small capitals be included, so they might be supported in a future version, I'd suggest you use a different color but keep the \scaps tag. That way, when that feature is added, your module will work without need of any changes. Or you could just use regular capitals if that is possible.

Hi

To anyone interested in the Latvian Bible module, I need the help of someone who has a printed edition of this bible.

Verse numbers in this version differ in many passages from the e-Sword standard, so I've had to fix those, leaving the original numbering colored gray and between parentheses. I have doubts, however, in three passages:

- One verse is missing at the end of Exodus 1. Verse 21 actually is verse 22 in the KJV, and verse 21 is missing ("And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.")

- Acts 24:7 and 28:29 are missing too. Those verses are thought by many to be spurious, and they are omitted in most modern versions, but usually that's marked somehow (usually with -- or a footnote, or something like that) to show the omission is intentional. In the HTML text of this Bible those verses are simply missing. Can you have a look at the printed edition and see what do they look like?

Thanks!

Carlos

Hi Brenten

I have finished building your Latvian Bible, and it seems it works fine in e-Sword 10.

Please, tell me what do you think the title, abbreviation and description should be. I think the title could be something like:
Latviešu Bībeles 1965 / Latvian Bible 1965

The comments should include the complete title, date, publisher, copyright, web source and any other useful information. And we need to choose an abbreviation like "Latvian" or "LB1965" or whatever is best.

On the other hand, it's important to know the copyright status of this translation. Please, could you contact the publisher and ask for permission to distribute it or at least for your personal use? The publisher is the Latvian Bible Society, and their email is lbb@apollo.lv

Regards,

Carlos

Hi Brent

Try this first - delete the file: "C:\ProgramData\Tools4eSword\ToolTipTool.ini"
Then restart the program.

It's fixed. It seems Windows needed a restart. I should have tried that before bothering you.

It's working fine now.

Thanks!

Carlos

Hi Brent

When does this happen?  When you first start the program?  I've not heard of any others having this issue.  Any other error messages before this one?

I see it's not a problem with T4, but with my system. The same happens if I install any older version, that used to work fine. So it seems I have broken something, but what could it be? What does T4 rely on? NET Framework, maybe?

Thanks for your interest.

Carlos

Hi Brent

I just downloaded T4 1.10 and I'm getting a realy weird error.

When I run it I get a tx4ole17 error that says "The designated text area is too small for the new format settings". When I accept that a huge error window appears. I'm sending you a screenshot attached.



Did I break something in my system as usual, or is it a bug in the new version?

I'm running XP SP3, and all previous versions worked fine until now.

Thanks!

Hi Brenten

Both OT and NT can be found at http://www.bibelesbi...le/default.htm.
We would greatly appreciate if you could build a Latvian Bible for e-sword since we are missionaries in Latvia and we recommend e-sword often.

I will give it a try today and get back to you.

Carlos

Hi bbacle

Tried the Tab Renamer, and changed it to NKJVe as suggested, and it is now working in eSword.
Weird.

I'm glad it's fixed.

It's not that weird,  it's an intentional feature. I guess to prevent the use of modules that violate copyright, modules with the same abbreviations as the official ones are blocked and are not displayed. Just change the abbreviation and it works.

Carlos

Hi ApologetixFan

If that module was bought from estudysource, you should ask them as Josh suggests.

But if that is a module you built yourself (that is, it's not the official module), you need to change its abbreviation, since e-Sword won't display a module with that abbreviation unless it's the official one. You need to change the NKJV to something else (e.g. NKJVe).

You can use the e-Sword Tab Renamer tool from the downloads section to do that.

This works for me, when copying from Word to Wordpad and back. It retains the text from the table, but not the table itself. I'm using Word 2010.

You are right, it works. Thank you!

Carlos

Hi DSaw, Josh and Brad

Thank you for your answers. But...

Josh will likely have a better way but did you try revealing the formatting shift + F1 then select show all formatting marks
or if you find one try find similar formatting on the right click menu at bottom there should be select text with similar formatting

I tried those, but it only takes the format of the text inside the textbox, not the object itself.

1) Select the whole document in Word and copy.
2) Paste into Wordpad.
3) Select the whole document in Wordpad and copy.
4) Paste back into Word.

The textboxes are gone.

That's what I do when I want to get rid of textboxes. But in this case I need to copy their content first to the document. :-/

Or you could create and run this macro. If the document has tables in it, though, that you are wanting to keep, don't use this.

I will try that macro, but it seems it's for tables, not textboxes. I will tell you how it went.

Thank you!

Carlos
