Making a Custom Bible - Ep 3 - Yuckus Codicus

Turns out the SimpleXML PHP library can't insert XML nodes before or after selected elements, just at the end of a container of siblings. So I'll have to write junky code to do what I want. I'll either use a different DOM manipulator, or I'll whip up some kind of regular expression. I think either approach is possible, just depends on what I feel like doing at the time (basically neither). Bible text is from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB).

Making a Custom Bible - Ep 2 - XML & Database

Not sure how long I'll last tonight. I'm tired, but don't feel ready to sleep. Let's see if my brain can still do anything intelligent. Probably not. The next task in the process of printing and binding a Bible is to insert the MySQL cross reference records into the XML between verses. Might be simple, might be quite involved.

Making a Custom Bible - Episode 1 - Database Stuff

Lately I have wanted to format a Bible to my own liking. Quite a few formatted documents are provided on the publisher's website, but none of them have cross references. Using a Bible database I modified and inserting USFX and XML code I'll attempt to add the footnotes. Affinity Publisher will likely be the software I'll use to lay out the final text.
