Hi Br. Cyrille,

Actually, that work-around might work for Catholic versification, but not for 
the ecumenical versification of the WEB. That is because the World English 
Bible contains both Daniel translated from the Hebrew traditional text (DAN) 
and Daniel translated from the Greek Septuagint (DAG). The USFM markup is 
correct. The ability of the Sword Engine to interpret it is broken.

Hi Michael,
THe problem is the same with xiphos.
If you want your file readable with the Catholic versification, you need to use 
the DAN \id in your usfm file, and not \id DAG.
It's not a front-end issue but an usfm issue.
@Jon, you probably know, with Andbible in the list of the bible books, the DC 
and accessible with the +.

Hello, Jonathan.

WEB and WEBC indeed contain Daniel (Greek). However, I don't know how to select 
a Sword Engine versification that can cause the front ends (AndBible, Bishop, 
Xiphos, etc.) to properly display Daniel (Greek). They can display some 
fragments of Daniel (Greek), like Susanna and Bel and the Dragon, but the World 
English Bible isn't split up that way, and won't be. Daniel (Greek) makes more 
sense when presented as a whole. I'm not sure if this is possible to do within 
the Sword ecosystem.

In the mean time, eBible.org epub files work well with Google Books and Apple 
Books, among other epub readers, no matter what their versification. You can 
get to any chapter in about 3 taps. The Sword Engine tries to force-fit every 
Bible translation into a small set of predefined, hard-coded versification 
schemes, none of which exactly match the World English Bible. In fact, they 
don't exactly match a very high percentage of Bible translations.

Hi there!

Apologies if I'm mistaken, but I'm not seeing Daniel (Greek) in my bible app. 
It looks like both the WEB and WEBC contain Esther (Greek) but lack Daniel 
(Greek). This would imply WEBC contains no translation of Daniel. I see it on 
browser bible and in the EPUB. Is this an issue with AndBible, the source WEB 
files, or something else?
