[sword-devel] OSIS questions ?

[David Troidl]

The only thing I'd add to this reply is that the First Osis example in 
the manual is inalid.  Here is a version that validates:

Esth.1.2" n="1-2"/>
King Xerxes of Persia lived in his capital city of Susa and ruled one
hundred twenty-seven provinces from India to Ethiopia.
<verse eID="Esth.1.1-Esth.1.2"/>
                <verse sID="Esth.1.3" osisID="Esth.1.3"/>
During the third year of his rule, Xerxes gave a big dinner for all
his officials and officers. The governors and leaders of the provinces
were also invited, and even the commanders of the Persian and Median
armies came.
<verse eID="Esth.1.3"/>
                <verse sID="Esth.1.4" osisID="Esth.1.4"/>
For one hundred eighty days he showed off his wealth and spent a lot
of money to impress his guests with the greatness of his kingdom.
<verse eID="Esth.1.4"/>
            </p>
        </div>
    </osisText>
