[sword-devel] Malayalam module

Mon Apr 7 22:35:21 MST 2014

I think repeating the \mt# would be better to preserve the original titles.
So, there will be two sets for each book, one set for English and
another for Malayalam.

The example you given will change like this based on the original title:

\mt2 THE GOSPEL
\mt1 ACCORDING TO JOHN
\mt1 യോഹന്നാൻ എഴുതിയ സുവിശേഷം

There is another issue with page headers. As you can see in the two images
I have given
in this mail thread, Malayalam bible use both English and Malayalam in the
page headers.
All the prints that I have seen use two column printing.  For the left side
page, Malayalam
short heading is used above the first column and English short heading is
used above
the second column.  For the right side page, Malayalam short heading is
used above
the second column and English short heading is used above the first column.
Here is a better picture to show the case I explained:

Is there any tag for page headers ?
