How to: Install a Qur'an in Accordance

[Fabian]

Hello 

 

I use now Accordance 12.3.1, but maybe it works with an older version too.

 

On the site http://tanzil.net/trans/ you can download a Qur'an. Choose [Text (with aya numbers)] . 

 

Download it . 

 

On https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/ you can download an editor. Or CotEditor for RTL languages.

 

Open it and run the search and replace: .

 

You can copy it from here:

Search

"^(\d+)[|](\d+)[|]"  

 

Replace "Q\1 1:\2 ".

 

Delete the quotes. be sure you have a space after \2[here space].

 

For CotEditor the Replace is "Q$1 1:$2 " also with a space at the end. This is also needed for Notepad++, if you are on Windows. If I'm correct. Otherwise try the one for BBEdit. 

 

It should like this now or similar .

 

Now you have to delete all content after the Q114 1:6. Even the empty line.

 

For English and other languages with Latin characters you can change from utf-8 to Mac OS Roman  . Except the Qur'an has some special characters to imitate the arabic.

.

Save it. 

 

Now let us import it .

 

Tip O.K. if you agree 

 

Choose the text 

 

Give a name and choose versification of a Qur'an. In my case the purchased Qur'an-T or the Droge is also good .

 

Now you can add Alternate Book Names. The file here adds "Sure" instead of only "Q" Quran Booknames.txt.zip. 

 

You can then, after import, switch between "Q" and "Sure" Right click in the text  and toggle on/off . You can also  change the second  name in the file.

 

 

In some Qur'an's you have to change the quotes from ” to » and “ to «. Otherwise you have some ‚Äù instead of the quotes. Simply search and replace. copy it from here. 

 

Click O.K. 

 

Add some information .

 

Enjoy.

 

Greetings

 

Fabian
