[sword-devel] OSIS markup for gen books and devotionals

[Laurie Fooks]

Thanks Karl,

Both BibleTime and Xulsword display the table as in my test module.
The markup for tables was copy / paste from the Crosswire wiki OSIS
page.

Line indents are important for poetry markup ..  I'll have to delve
again into how this is done in OSIS bibles... but last time I checked,
it was not helpful.

Generally speaking, maybe this general OSIS situation has not been so
apparent as I have not been able to find genbook modules using
extensive OSIS markup.

I am not a programmer, but will look at the filters to see what I can
discover, though as all the markup in my test module displays in one
or more front ends ... its strange!

Cheers

Laurie
