Line Break after each verse

Submitted by ddpicard on Wed, 10/08/2008 - 16:24

First I wanted to say I really like your program. The original SWORD Project bible software looks and feels so outdated. Thanks for the refreshed look of your program. I've been using your program for a couple of days. The only thing I cannot figure out is how to get line breaks after each verse. I prefer the more traditional style of reading, not the paragraph style. If there something I am missing?

Thanks again for a great program.

God Bless,
David Dunn

Line break after each verse

I noticed in the conf file there is a:
[Bible]
verse_per_line = True # :=> I changed it to true. but no effect.

So with that said can one get 0.4 from svn or early testing for this great tool?

You can try out the SVN

You can try out the SVN version if you have SVN and python 2.5.
You'll need to install wxPython for python 2.5 as well

It's not all that straightforward, though.

You can probably use the SWORD bindings I have built.
To use this try these steps (from memory):
a) download the installer, and install it
b) go to the installation directory
c) Take the _Sword.pyd file and drop it into site-packages in your python
lib directory
d) Extract the Sword.pyc file from the library.zip into the python site-packages directory

Then you can check bpbible out of svn, and try it. Things may be unstable in SVN, though.

Some time soon (hopefully within the next two weeks...) I will be making a 0.4 preview with most of the functionality in it ready for initial localization.

As regards the line in the conf file, it never did anything. It should in the SVN version, though.

Trying to install from source and svn

I also love this program and want to thank you for your work. I downloaded the zip bible source extracted it and find no library.zip file. I have sword installed already. I am on ArchLinux with gnomesword installed and working. Please give me the svn build directions again.

Thanks

The instructions about

The instructions about library.zip were for use under windows.
To make it work under linux, you can try downloading the SWORD bindings from http://benpmorgan.googlepages.com/Archive.tar.gz
Then extract them to python's site-packages

These don't work for 64bit linux.
