So what flavour of regex does diatheke actually use under Linux? Why is it that the *dot metacharacter* is not recognized? David -- View this message in context: http://sword-dev.350566.n4.nabble.com/diatheke-search-type-regex-and-the-dot-tp4656879p4656889.html Sent from the SWORD Dev mailing

[sword-devel] Arabic shaping?

2017-03-03 Thread David Haslam
One of the *diatheke* output filter options is *-o r* for Arabic Shaping. There seems to be no corresponding *GlobalOptionFilter* defined in our wiki page for .conf files. https://crosswire.org/wiki/DevTools:conf_Files#Elements_required_for_proper_rendering Is there something missing that merely

To print on the Linux console diatheke output from Arabic script texts both the options shaping and bidi are required.  They do work and are not vapourware. Peter On Fri, 2017-03-03 at 06:41 -0800, David Haslam wrote: > One of the *diatheke* output filter options is *-o r* for Arabic > Shaping.

An old thread from 2012 but something new to ponder for this module. If anyone fancies a project in *text development*, now that Unicode 9.0 includes a new block for *uppercase Cherokee letters*, rewriting the source text for the Cherokee NT and making use of the new letters would be an interestin

SWORD supports compiling with a variety of regex engines-- typically GNU regex on most linux system. We include 'internal regex' copy of this, as well. We also will compile against the C++ standard regex engine including the language spec. Each handles unicode characters different. . is cer
