Closed yukuku closed 7 years ago

Quick Bible is a mildly-popular open-source Bible app for Android. Custom Bible translations can be made from text-based YET files. Please support it according to http://www.bibleforandroid.com/developer.

As you seem to be the developer of that app, a few questions after I read through the specification:

Thanks for the feedback.

@schierlm Thanks for reading through the docs!

  1. Reordered or Split Verses are not supported?

No, it is not possible to reorder verse or split verses. You can skip verses by putting a verse line with empty text. e.g. verse 1 1 1 Content of verse 1 verse 1 1 2 verse 1 1 3 Content of verse 3 (no verse 2 shown in the app)

Yes, so far other versions have overcome this by putting the printed verse number in parenthesis. e.g. (3:40) or (3-40).

  1. Is there a way to escape a literal @ symbol inside a verse that uses formatting? If not, are there any conventions what to replace it by?

No. I didn't expect the '@' literal will appear on Bible text. If needed, you can use U+FE6B ﹫ SMALL COMMERCIAL AT

  1. Introduction texts for books/chapters are not supported?

No. Use pericope heading for that instead. e.g.: pericope 2 1 1 Title text to show "Title text" at the beginning of Exodus 1.

  1. Deuterocanonical books are not supported?

They are supported. The book numbers for those books are custom, though: https://github.com/yukuku/androidbible/blob/develop/publication/doc/book%20numbers.txt

Thanks for the feedback. I decided not to use pericope headings for introduction texts, since those texts tend to be rather long (several paragraphs) and they mostly get in the way since usually they are not that interesting (''MyBible for Android'' provides a link to open them on demand, so they don't get in the way). I therefore decided to skip them on export.

@schierlm Thank you for supporting Quick Bible format! I will mention this project on Quick Bible developer documentation.
