Re: [sword-devel] Diatheke Patch (was Re: Next version)
Hi, Actually, I had another reason to suggest adding these to Diatheke. Specifically, I'd like to have get to a full LaTeX exporter at some point, i.e. supporting the options (Word of Christ in Red, etc.). I don't really see how that could be done without using the API. Any idea?

Only starting now to get to grips with latex, but FWIW, Latex allows embedding of various languages into new macros, so a use of e.g. the Perl bindings within Latex is entirely feasible and would be a great addition. I think that is the way to go and not via some circuitous shell construct.

The person proposing this change is writing LaTeX functions that a user can use to embed scripture quotations directly into the generated files. He is currently using post-processing regular expressions but these options would eliminate the possibility of problems with the regular expressions. Since Diatheke already has quite a few options for changing its formats and filters, stripping the extra markers seems reasonable for applications like this one where having a C or C++ file do the exporting might not be feasible. I don't know the limits of LaTeX and whether a custom exporter program is feasible, but is there any particular reason to not want changes to Diatheke? --Greg ___ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
