Thanks for the resource exported from TW/folio.
Let's work together in order to see whether this resource can be made to browse in bibledit.
For bibledit to browse resources, it will work if every verse has one file.
In other cases, e.g. when the resource is one book per file, it needs what are called "anchors".
To start with, every resource that Bibledit uses should be in html format.
The resource that you have attached is in RTF format.
Would it be possible for you to save this RTF file into a .html file, and to look whether the anchors are there?
If these anchors are there, most likely browsing will work.
An anchor will look like this - example:
<a name="1john.1.2"></a>
Or more general:
<a name="book.chapter.verse"></a>
or
<a name="chapter.verse"></a>
Any of those types of anchors will do.
Lets' take it step by step, and you'll learn a lot from it how to create resources.
If you were to have the time to make the conversion to html and look whether anchors are there, then we take it from there.
Anchors can't normally be seen on web pages if the page is viewed in the browser.
But the anchors become visible when the html file is opened in a text editor.
Thanks for this step-by-step procedure to learn how to create resources for BE.
I will answer this also by a stype-by-step discription, how I do this (could be helpful for BE/Help).
Here are the steps I took.
- Opened TRHB4_1JN.RTF (export of TW/folio) in Open Office Writer
- Saved it as HTML document (Open Office Writer)
- yes (for the warning that some formatting may be lost
- opened TRHB4_1JN.html with Firefox
- Firefox/View/Page Source: The Kompozer displays TRHB4_1JN.html
- Checking at 1 John 1.1a: There is a named anchor: TRHB 1JN 1.1 ( 1.1 1 John 1.1c)
- Kompozer/View/HTML source: Checking at 1 John 1.1a shows:
<p>1John 1.1a</p>
<p><a name="TRHB 1JN 1.1"></a>1 John 1.1a</p>
So the anchor is there. Even the resource name is there (which could be helpful for linking between resources if that is envisioned).
Thanks for the work that you did on discovering the named anchors. Yes, it appears that the proper anchors are there, then.
The procedure for making a resource for this one will then be very similar to the one for creating the resource of last week.
Here's the anchor that you found:
<a name="TRHB 1JN 1.1">
It is supposed that each of the verses has such an anchor, with different chapter and verse number.
Homepage: Name of any file, or this file specifically.
URL constructor: TRHB4_<book>.html#TRHB <book> <chapter>.<verse>
Note the spaces in the above URL constructor, there are two of them.
The name to put for the book of 1 John is "1JN".
- TranslHandbook: for TRHB4_1JN.html#TRHB 1JN 1.1.2 : URL constructor: TRHB4_<book>.html#TRHB <book> <chapter>.<verse>
- TransNoteDisplay: for TN2JND4.html#TND 2JN 1.1B : URL constructor: TN<book>D4.html#TND <book> <chapter>.<verse>
- TransNoteNotes: for TN2JNN4.html#TNN 2JN 1.1B : URL constructor: TN<book>N4.html#TNN <book> <chapter>.<verse>
This worked to import TH, TND and TNN into BE/Resource Browser
URL constructor (for BE resources import) for material from
- TW: (TH, TN) and
- other html resource (TH and CM)
Translator's Handbooks (TH):
- from TW: for TRHB4_XXX.html#TRHB XXX 1.1.2 : URL constructor: TRHB4_<book>.html#TRHB <book> <chapter>.<verse>,
-- with XXX or <book> = JAARS/UBS code (GEN ... REV): encoding problems: non-UTF8 with Greek/Hebrew (transliteration) fonts, e.g. GEN, MRK
- other html resource: URL constructor: ubshbk<book>.html#bible.<book>.<chapter>.<verse>
-- with XXX or <book> = numbering system (1,2 ..., 87), e.g. COL=72, 1TI=75, 2TI=76, TIT=77, 2PE=86,
Translator's Notes (TN):
all from TW (encoding is no problem, as there is only English text used = UTF8)
- Display (TND): for TNXXXD4.html#TND XXX 1.1B : URL constructor: TN<book>D4.html#TND <book> <chapter>.<verse>
- Notes (TNN): for TNXXXN4.html#TNN XXX 1.1B : URL constructor: TN<book>N4.html#TNN <book> <chapter>.<verse>
-- with XXX or <book> = JAARS/UBS code (GEN ... REV) , e.g.: COL, 1TI, 2TI, TIT, 2PE,
Commentaries (CM) which are not TH and TN:
- other html resource: URL constructor: ubshbk<book>.html#bible.<book>.<chapter>.<verse>
-- with XXX or <book> = numbering system (1,2 ..., 87), e.g. COL=72, 1TI=75, 2TI=76, TIT=77, 2PE=86,
