[sword-devel] Titles and other Inter-verse material

[David Haslam]

Quite so!

Ignoring titles and all other preverse content for the purpose of this
reply, I still find it strange that the only placement of the paragraph
elements (in relation to verse eID and sID milestones) that works
empirically without causing widowed verse tags (in at least one front-end)
is as follows:

.... text of previous verse.
</p>
<p>
<verse eID="previous verse id"/>
<verse sID="current verse id"/>Text of current verse ...

I can't get my head round the logic of this!

The way my mind works, I'd have expected this to be a more logical sequence
in OSIS:

.... text of previous verse.
<verse eID="previous verse id"/>
</p>
<p>
<verse sID="current verse id"/>Text of current verse ...

If the <p> element is logically a feature of the current verse, 
and </p> element is logically a feature of the previous verse, 
then why do verse tags get widowed?
(leaving the text of the current verse orphaned from its tag).

What seems empirically to be required differs from what is documented in
http://crosswire.org/wiki/OSIS_Bibles#OSIS_Milestones

As yet, no-one within CrossWire who's habitually involved in module making
has come up with a satisfying explanation.
