[sword-devel] StripText(), newlines, and the ESV module

[Jeremy Erickson]

Hi,
	I also just noticed that the NET Bible (official paid module, version 1.0.1) 
seems to have the same issue even though it is using <I /> for newlines - 
works in BibleTime main display, doesn't work in Diatheke, StripText(), or 
BibleTime text copy.
