Typesetting a Bible with Prince XML

PRINCE

My assignmentCreate or extend a standard that will allow

us to exchange Bibles in the process of translation that handles

multiple back translations (different languages),

translator and consultant notes, and status of translation.

OXES based on OSISOXES (Open XML for Editing Scripture) was developed to add requested features.

OSIS focuses on the finished translation. OXES includes process information so in the future translators will know why a passage was translated the way it is.

OSIS is highly extensible. OXES is restrictive. All options are explicitly named.

Too many files to distributeI have over 100 image files to include with

the HTML documentation produced from the Relax NG schema.

Our son, Eric, suggested using Prince to produce one PDF file.

I looked at Prince PDF samples online

My OXES PDF documentation

Prince solved my problem All the images are included in one PDF

file that is easy to distribute It seemed to handle book info well So …

Since Prince can do books

A Bible is a book –extra requirements

Inline and stacking footnotes

Test OXES by printing BibleTo test that I had a complete specification I

decided to transform a Bible into OXES and then to print using Prince XML.

Orphans1. A paragraph-opening line that appears by itself at the bottom of a page/column.

2. A word, part of a word, or very short line that appears by itself at the end of a paragraph. Orphans result in too much white space between paragraphs or at the bottom of a page.


Widow1. A paragraph-ending line that falls

at the beginning of the following page/column, thus separated from the remainder of the text.

TrackingBy increasing or decreasing tracking we

can get a better fit for the text. Tracking changes can fix loose lines, tight lines, rivers, orphans, and uneven column balance.

space, is the term describing open space between design elements.
