Next steps? #2

Hello Rob,

Now that you are bootstrapped with a running SILE+resilient setup and the LSG example at https://github.com/Omikhleia/awesome-sile-books

Here is what I would propose as next steps, for each of the USX bible here:

  1. Create a "resilient master document" (.silm file), say kjb.silm for the KJB...
    • It contains a small preamble, which can simply be copied from my lsg.silm, just changing the language: fr key to language: en when appropriate (and optionally the tile entry, so this is not critical for now)
    • And it must then list all the USX files orderly
  2. Copy the style file lsg-styles.yml (or possibly use a symbolic link) to a style file with the appropriate name, say kjb-styles.silm
  3. Run SILE+resilient as for the LSG.
  4. Check and report errors or problems -- We could collect them below.

For instance, I just quickly did it for the KJB and noticed:

This would help ensuring the USX support is at least sufficiently complete for all the Bibles you gathered here.

What do you think of this? Is this something you could do?
