It may not quite that simple... without css, I'm not sure how you can do
indentations easily in html (blockquotes? &nbsp;s?). BPBible currently
extends the wxHTML parser to add some new tags and then it is easy. I should
be able to make BPBible use the level attribute very easily.

Another thing that BPBible does is puts the verse number in the lg margin
during poetry - more like a print Bible.

Not that I've seen; but I haven't looked far. Anyway, it would be good to
update these.

God Bless,
