Hi Brian,

Actually, I've been trying to play with Sword software and modules in order to gain understanding of how the whole system works, but I've found it very hard to break into.

Concerning module formats, I found DM's reply very confusing! "The only documentation that will be provided is the code itself. It is not commented very well. This is deliberate. It is not commented very well. That is not deliberate;) All the code is readily available."

As a way of learning, I have tried to make a module from a USFM source but haven't got it working yet.

I guess I haven't really grasped the "Crosswire/Sword" culture at all yet. :(

Robert.

I've read your post differently than others.  Are you looking for how to
make a new module?  If so, the answers are quite different from those
that you've gotten so far.

The basic story is that it depends to some degree on what type of module
you want to make (Bible, Commentary, GenBook, Dictionary).  This will
decide the possible file formats that you could use.

If this is actually what you're trying to ask, please let us know what
type of module you'd like to make and what type of source you're
starting with.
