[jsword-devel] Modifying the display of texts

[Gabriel Valencia]

Hey all

I have been incorporating the JSword API into a program I am working  
on for displaying Biblical texts on a projector for use in Bible  
studies, sermons, etc. Right now, I use the JSword APIs to retrieve  
Bible texts and I use BibleDesktop components to display them. I am  
still very new with XML, XSLT, etc., but one thing I would like to  
change for the program is the display format that BibleDesktop uses  
by default. For example, in BibleDesktop, the verses are usually  
displayed line by line, but when you put it on a projector, it would  
be nice to be able to increase the spacing to make it easier to read,  
and perhaps increasing the side margins. Also, I figured out how to  
change the font size, but it requires (as far as I can tell) creating  
a custom BookDataDisplay and modifying the HTML  
TransformingSAXEventProvider's properties.

If I understand correctly, BibleDesktop uses XSLT to determine how  
text gets displayed. Is there any way to modify this style sheet or  
use a custom one? Am I on the right track for what I want to do, or  
is there an easier way to modify all these properties? Any guidance  
would be appreciated.

God bless your labor in the Lord!
