Re: [be] Raw text/Discover markup: Great tool

[Teus Benschop]

Hi Wolfgang,

Our typists prepare for an existing Bible to be revised. This is the 
Bible in the Union Shona language. The idea is to have the typists type 
the text because the existing Shona Bible is not available in electronic 
format. It was made long back. The typists type it once, then it gets 
imported into Bibledit, and then remains there, all revisions are done 
within Bibledit.

Phil has another interesting approach at present. He has text in 
Bibledit, then exports it to GoogleDocs. His team works in GoogleDocs, 
and once they are through he imports their text back into Bibledit.

Regards,

Teus.
