I would like to creat a Verse-per-Line copy of the Open Hebrew Bible. What is the best way to do that? Which files should I use from this repository?

Thanks! Questions...

To convert the TOTHT to VPL is it simply a matter of concatenating the Hebrew words together with a space in between for each verse? Also is the TOTHT updated when this OpenScriptures project is updated?

Now in the OpenScriptures/morphhb project I see three folders that seem to contain the Hebrew text: 1) /MAPM/ 2) /wlc and 3) /oxlos-import.

The MAPM/MAPM.xml file already seems to be close to VPL format. I just need to know what to do with the -SEG- tags. I need the Hebrew text in VPL without any tags. How do I strip out the -SEG- tags?

The /wlc/bible books file format has even more tags. I would need help to know how to strip out all the tags to get to VPL format.

And finally the /oxlos-import format is just a long list of all the Hebrew words with verse and word number. This file format would be the easiest to use to make a VPL format. Do I just concatenate the words together with a space in between? And which file in the /oxlos-import is best to use?

And of the three options above can each be used to produce the same best Open Scriptures Hebrew bible or is one folder the better to use?

/wlc is the latest OSHB text.
/MAPM is a completely different project.
/oxlos-import has no scripture files in it.

It seems to me that the VPL format could easily be constructed with /oxlos-import/wlc.txt. Would it work to simply concatenate all the Hebrew words in that file together per verse separated by a space?

Correction on my previous post.
/oxlos-import is 11 years old. I would not consider it reliable. A lot has been updated since then.

Okay thanks that is what I needed to know.

I plan to use this as my source for the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible, https://ebible.org/details.php?id=hboWLC
I think that is a well groomed source.
