These bible versions all are (or swe: can potentially be) formatted as having distinct titles, but verses mingled with the text. What we want is to use the verse formatting as a parallel text aligner clue. The verses must thus be singled out. Cf. also bug #198, and a forthcoming news thread.

Now, the swe bible is dumped at corp/orig/swe/bible/ot/sv.tar, but the tar file consists of both ot and nt files. Until now, we have accidently stored our nt files as one long file, but our ot files as one file per bible book. If this should go on (which it can), the files in sv.tar should be rearranged.

The verses and chapter numbers are now singled out from the nt:s for sme, smj and swe. The format could still be refined, the documents are in corp/orig/lang/bible/nt/ -directories with suffix bible.xml. There is also a script bible2xml.pl that converts the documents to a format, where the chapter numbers and section titles are marked as

-elements and verse numbers are not shown at all. That enables treating nt:s as sources of running text. The converted text is stored under bound-hierarchy.

I will continue to unify the structure of available old testament texts.

There is now a convention to have the new testament as one big file, whereas the old testament in several files. That is because for nno, nob, and swe, we have only 1.Mos and Psalms.

All the available bible files, except Finnish ot are now converted to the bible format. There are couple of things that should be noted:

• The "original" files are still in their place in the orig-hierarchy, since they are the source of conversion to bible.xml. Especially paratext files contain more information than is present in bible.xml -format and if we want to move this info in bible.xml, the files can be reconverted. The originals are excluded from conversion.
• The original bible files have varying degree of layout information, so some files have more detailled structure than others.
• The bible.xml are in the orig-hierarchy even though they are not real originals. In case there are errors, those files can be reconverted; otherwise they are treated like the other original files.
