Test and review the Symscroll branch of GoBibleCore

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Daniel is working on a branch of GoBibleCore which he has named Symscroll.

Purpose of code changes on this branch:
See http://groups.google.com/group/go-bible-dev

When reviewing Daniel's code changes, please focus on:
* New features
1. Italic (#26) + Psalm Titles (#7)
2. A couple of easy issues:
  a) #24 Localization of numeric digits
  b) #110 Extended-UI option
3. A trial implementation of
  a) #92 Chapter and verse tag values
  b) #93 Poetic indentation
  c) #130 Touchscreen support 

* Removed features (are there any>)

After the review, we should consider whether to merge this branch into the 
trunk on the CrossWire SVN server.

Workaround: 

Because the source code is on the CrossWire SVN server, I was unable to use the 
label Type-review for this issue. Google code templates require a proper branch 
name here.

Very soon I'll be checking in the source code for GoBibleCreator as well.

This GoBibleCreator will generate extra markup from USFM source files (ThML and 
other formats remain the same). In addition, it will not hard code manifest 
values, which will allow users to play with the more options.

Currently, the KJV USFM source files available on the Internet are the best to 
showcase all the features.

Removed features: Reverse characters. This feature will be re-implemented.

Hi Daniel,

If you plan to change code in GoBibleCreator, please be aware that Larry 
Waswick of SIL in Dallas had checked out v2.4.0 and has already added a 
facility to use XHTML-TE as a fourth source text format. The TE denotes 
Translation Editor, which is part of SIL FieldWorks.

He never got round to checking in this enhancement to the CrossWire SVN server, 
and I have not had chance to review it properly or test it adequately. Even so, 
it is sufficiently important that we include this in future versions. If we can 
get the updated code from him, that would save us having to merge two branches 
later.

A new issue should be added to cover your intended changes to GoBibleCreator.

Further items to watch for during code review and testing of the Symscroll 
branch:

Side effects:
Implications of new enhancements on other features, especially the Search 
algorithm

cf. Special concerns addressed for red-letter markup, as implemented in v2.4.0

SymScroll features were reviewed during meeting on 2011-04-09. (David & Daniel.)

On a PC, touch screen features can be tested (by the mouse) using the emulator 
that is part of the Java SDK.

David needs to obtain a touch screen phone to more adequately test the 
symscroll branch.

This activity is ongoing, and includes the feedback of testing more new 
features.
