Diatheke command-line SWORD frontend Version 4.2.1"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mash at grace:~$ diatheke -b ESV -k is1:12
Isaiah 1:12: 
When you come to appear before me,who has required of youthis trampling of my courts?
(ESV)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am using the Debian package
diatheke   1.5.9-8.1  CGI script for making bible website

All output is single lines except the problem passages with line breaks as above.
verse: text
verse: text
verse: text

I really do hope this is not going to change on newer releases, single line output I feel is the best way.

Also just a side note, I am hoping that in future releases one could have the possibility of suppressing the verse references altogether and just output a continuous line. Say with just the initial lookup reference starting the line. "is1:12-14: blah blah blah..."
