[sword-devel] Malayalam module

To include the English running header along with Malayalam, can I use
multiple \h1 ?
How is this formating for 1. John ?

\id 1JN 63_1Jn.usfm സത്യവേദപുസ്തകം
\ide UTF-8
\h1 1. John
\h1 1. യോഹന്നാൻ
\toc1 യോഹന്നാൻ എഴുതിയ ഒന്നാം ലേഖനം
\toc2 1. യോഹന്നാൻ
\toc3 1 യോഹ.
\mt2 THE FIRST EPISTLE OF
\mt1 JOHN
\mt1 യോഹന്നാൻ എഴുതിയ ഒന്നാം ലേഖനം
...
