[sword-devel] Versification and german bible texts

[Chris Little]

Manfred,

I would first check the source file to make sure that the character 
following 32:33 is a space (plain 0x20 space). Other characters can at 
times confuse the import tools. Aside from that, I can't imagine why 
osis2mod is reversifying 32:33 as 32:0, since it should really go to 
32:32. Admittedly, the latest version of osis2mod hasn't received much 
testing since DM's fairly large commit.

In any case, if you want to test alternate versification in Sword, you 
need to use xml2gbs for import. You can copy a .conf from one of the 
testing modules that use the GenBook driver to see the necessary .conf 
settings (either KJVgb or DRCgb, I believe).
