[sword-devel] howto: mod2osis

[DM Smith]

You can see the source for mod2osis here (It may have changed since 
1.5.8 was released):
http://www.crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/utilities/mod2osis.cpp

In reading it I noticed a couple of things:
I think that the text is being filtered from whatever internal format 
into OSIS. So if it is originally GBF or ThML markup then it becomes OSIS.
The module is assumed to be a Bible as that is hard coded into the OSIS 
type statement in the osisWork element.
The code further assumes that the module is arranged as Book, Chapter 
and Verse (BCV). This is true of Bibles and some commentaries. But not 
of other works.


So, if I am reading this correctly, mod2osis is not the right mechanism 
to get OSIS out of a GenBook.
