[sword-devel] OpenOffice GenBook plugin - can't export

[Daniel Owens]

One benefit of doing that is that the wiki filter is likely to be 
updated whereas an OSIS export filter is not. On the other hand, you 
have to make sure that the export filter supports every feature needed. 
One question is how it would handle biblical references. Just a couple 
of thoughts.
