bibleserver-scraper
This tool can package content from bibleserver.com nicely:
- as MySword Bible modules
- as side-by-side, verse-by-verse translation comparison
The latter comes with a bonus feature you can't buy in any print bible (or at least I couldn't find one): no headings! Very useful if you want to read the bible without being influenced beforehand about what to expect.
Please respect the copyright and don't publish bible texts anywhere without consent of the publishers!
Usage
Start the released JAR using Java 11 or above with an (empty) directory as parameter, e.g.
java -jar bibleserver-scraper-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar /home/username/bibles
It will show you on the standard output what it does. If all goes well, it will create four MySword bible modules (ELB, LUT, NLB and KJV) and a LaTeX source file for the translation comparison (more below).
MySword Bible modules
You have to copy the resulting files to your device, either by mailing them to yourself or via Android Debug Bridge:
adb push *.mybible /storage/emulated/0/mysword/bibles
side-by-side, verse-by-verse translation comparison
The created file has to be compiled to a PDF using LaTeX. Please use a LaTeX distribution of your choice which supports these packages (you may have to install them additionally): inputenc, fontenc, geometry, setspace, graphicx, hyperref, tabu, longtable
Compilation (e.g. with pdflatex side-by-side.tex) has to happen twice for the table of contents to have the right page numbers.
