Editing Bibles

Before any editing can be done, make a new project, and add one or more books to it. Empty books can be added through menu File->Properties. Existing Standard Format Marker text can be imported through menu File->Import.

Editing a Bible basically is done by opening a project, and then editing the text. There is no need to save the text, because Bibledit takes care of that.

For understanding the meaning of the various tags used, it will be helpful to read the documentation that comes with Paratext, in particular the part about the Unified Standard Format Markers.

All project data is stored in subdirectory .bibledit of the home directory of the user.
