[jsword-devel] Method to find if BibleBook is contained in a Book

[Martin Denham]

IBT have just passed me more information regarding their handling of empty
verses to help clarify if this is an IBT module issue or not.  The
following is an extract from IBT's e-mail:

Here are examples of how IBT's OSIS source defines empty verses in the
markup:

Empty book (Epistle of Jeremiah):
<div type="x-Synodal-non-canonical"><div type="book"
osisID="EpJer"><chapter osisID="EpJer.1"><verse sID="EpJer.1.1-72"
osisID="EpJer.1.1 EpJer.1.2 EpJer.1.3 EpJer.1.4 EpJer.1.5 EpJer.1.6
EpJer.1.7 EpJer.1.8 EpJer.1.9 EpJer.1.10 EpJer.1.11 EpJer.1.12 EpJer.1.13
EpJer.1.14 EpJer.1.15 EpJer.1.16 EpJer.1.17 EpJer.1.18 EpJer.1.19
EpJer.1.20 EpJer.1.21 EpJer.1.22 EpJer.1.23 EpJer.1.24 EpJer.1.25
EpJer.1.26 EpJer.1.27 EpJer.1.28 EpJer.1.29 EpJer.1.30 EpJer.1.31
EpJer.1.32 EpJer.1.33 EpJer.1.34 EpJer.1.35 EpJer.1.36 EpJer.1.37
EpJer.1.38 EpJer.1.39 EpJer.1.40 EpJer.1.41 EpJer.1.42 EpJer.1.43
EpJer.1.44 EpJer.1.45 EpJer.1.46 EpJer.1.47 EpJer.1.48 EpJer.1.49
EpJer.1.50 EpJer.1.51 EpJer.1.52 EpJer.1.53 EpJer.1.54 EpJer.1.55
EpJer.1.56 EpJer.1.57 EpJer.1.58 EpJer.1.59 EpJer.1.60 EpJer.1.61
EpJer.1.62 EpJer.1.63 EpJer.1.64 EpJer.1.65 EpJer.1.66 EpJer.1.67
EpJer.1.68 EpJer.1.69 EpJer.1.70 EpJer.1.71 EpJer.1.72"/><verse
eID="EpJer.1.1-72"/></chapter></div></div>

I'm not sure how osis2mod handles all this when importing to the module,
but it works perfectly without warnings or errors. Also, when the resulting
module is passed to the "emptyvss" tool, it passes this test without
warnings.
