I don't have access to Thayers. It is no longer available on CrossWire.
So, I have to speak "theoretically" and hopefully you can find and fix
the problems.

Thanks, your detailed instructions and example (and a little puzzling
about how Java works, since i'm not a Java guy) produced some useful
results, as well as (of course!) a few more questions related to
running this with Thayer's.
1) there are various complaints: i'm not sure if they're significant

org.crosswire.jsword.book.filter.thml.THMLFilter(INFO): Could not fix
it by cleaning tags: Illegal character or entity reference syntax.
JSword validates the conf files against what is expected or allowed. All
of these "Ignoring" are warnings and can be ignored. Most of these have
been cleaned up and will disappear if you download a fresh copy from the
crosswire server.
The last one is that the input had characters that were out of range.
Sword supports only two different encodings, CP1252 (called Latin 1) and
UTF-8. If the encoding is UTF-8, then the conf needs to state that.
Otherwise, it will interpret the input as CP1252.
If the module is something other than that you will need to re-encode
the module into UTF-8.
2) the results from Thayer's seem to have lost the Greek characters.
What's in the .imp file looks like some 8-bit chars
ωφελιμος
which i assume is some kind of representation of the Greek characters
(haven't quite figured out what: doesn't seem to be UTF-8). But this
winds up in the output as a string of '?'s.
When you see a ? or a box in the output, you should verify that you are
using a Unicode font or one that contains the unicode characters in the
range that interest you.
3) entry 5207 (huios) produces bad XML: looks like a TDNT reference
attribute in a sync tag doesn't get its terminating quote (after
"8:400"?) and slash+angle bracket ending the sync are also missing:
AV-son(s) 85, Son of Man +<sync type="Strongs" value="G444" /> 87
(<sync type="TDNT" value="8:400, 1210), Son of God
The fault seems to exist in the .imp file as well (which has these
<sync> tags embedded)
JSword assumes that the module is good ThML in the first place. If this
is not the case, it will have to be fixed and the module re-created. If
4) there are a number of bare "&" characters in the original which
seem to get dropped in the output instead of replaced with &
(except for one in #5207, one might suppose because of the
unterminated attribute/tag issue)
If the original is ThML and the & are not escaped, these will need to be
fixed in the original.
5) There are some issues with the synonym references around ampersands
(whether related to #4 i can't tell): the .imp file has
For Synonyms see entry <sync type="Strongs" value="G5811" /> & <sync
type="Strongs" value="G5889" />
but the OSISified output has
<w lemma='strong:G5811'>
For Synonyms see entry </w><w lemma='strong:G5889'> </w>
Hope this feedback is helpful, and thanks again for the pointers.
Unless there's a solution to the problem with the Greek characters,
i'll have to fall back to parsing the .imp file by hand, since getting
these out is important to me. By the way, what displays in the Sword
Project for Thayer's lacks accents and breathing marks, though by
comparison i see them in e-Sword's version: anyone happen to know why?
His,
Sean
