This looks like it should (though stylistically, I'd swap the <verse  
eID="Hab.2.18"/> and </lg>).

It should work the way you want. JSword and SWORD should be changed to  
accommodate.

In BibleDesktop, it should already do that. I'm confused as to why it  
would not.
We use xslt to transform the OSIS into HTML. We change the <lg> into a  
<div>. In HTML, a div is a block element and should start on a new line.

Can you turn on "View Source" in your BD properties. It will require a  
manual edit of desktop.properties. Change the line:
Advanced.ViewSource=false
to
Advanced.ViewSource=true
Note, if it is not there, add it.

The next time you start BD, you'll see "View Source" on the View menu.  
It will have 3 tabs, one for the raw text as coming from the module,  
one for OSIS and one for the generated HTML.

You'll quickly find that it is easiest to look at a single verse.

If you'd go to this verse and do a ViewSource, what do you get for  
these three views? (send it to me directly) I'm curious as to whether  
osis2mod created something that BD's xslt does not handle. I have an  
idea as to what might be happening.

As a hack, insert a <lb/> before each <lg>. This should only be a  
short term hack.

Someone could change the osis2htmlhref.cpp filter to output a <div>  
when encountering an <lg>. The last line in a line group probably  
shouldn't output a <br/>. That would produce extra spacing. A similar  
change should be done in the other osis filters.
