The following is a small sample from an XML file that would be turned into a reading schedule that will work with Olive Tree's BibleReader. In the future, this functionality may be added to the user interface to make creating and editing reading schedules easier. Here are some general guidelines to follow when creating your XML file:
| 1. | You may create your own file, but we recommend creating an XML template using the "Create Starter XML File" feature, and just replacing "****" between all of the verse tags. Just select the number of readings that you would like for each day and click on the "Create Starter XML File..." button. |
| 2. | The file must start with "<BibleReadMe>" and end with "</BibleReadMe>" |
| 3. | Just copy the first Record section (Record RefID="0") and change the title and date if you'd like. |
| 4. | Each subsequent Record section should have a RefID="1" through RefID="12". The RefID number corresponds to the month of the year. |
| 5. | Within a month (between the beginning and ending Record tags for a month), you should have a "subtitle" tag and at least one "entry" tag. |
| 6. | Within each "entry" tag, there should be one "verse" tag. The "verse" tag will contain the verse which the hyperlink will jump to in the schedule. Use the full book name with a space and the chapter number. You can also specify a range of chapters. (see the example below) |
| 7. | An entry tag may also contain a "date" tag. The number within the "date" tag specifies the day of the month that the following "verse" entries are for. |
| 8. | You can name the file whatever you'd like, but it must be an .xml file and the pdb file that is generated will always be "DailyBible.pdb". |
| 9. | You can only have one DailyBible.pdb file installed on your device at a time. Subsequent files will overwrite the existing file. |
