[sword-devel] howto: mod2osis

[Troy A. Griffitts]

SWORD does not currently have an end user tool to convert and export 
OSIS genbooks or lexicons.

All software at CrossWire is not finished, and will always be such :) 
Anyone want to extend mod2osis to support this, it would be a great 
addition.  The conversion to OSIS of an individual entry is already 
supported by our filters, but recognition of a genbook, modification of 
the OSIS header to reflect such, utilizing TreeKey, instead of VerseKey 
and surrounding each entry with appropriate <div> containers is what 
needs coded.
