[sword-devel] Need some help before starting new OSIS file

[Ben Morgan]

Just some additional info from my point of view (as a BPBible developer, not
as a module creator):

sID's *must* be matched with eID's. There are two forms of quotes (this
generalizes to all osis milestoneable elements) <q>text</q> and <q
sID="quote-id" />test <q eID="quote-id" />, where quote-id is unique to this
quote. The latter is useful as it can go across paragraph breaks. I would
strongly recommend having these quotes in here.

Why do you need line breaks? If these denote paragraphs, they really should
be marked as paragraphs.

God Bless,
