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

[Nic Carter]

Hi Laurie,

Some front-ends will apply some special formatting for poetry & you don't want that formatting for your modules, so don't mark it as poetry & you'll be fine :)
(PocketSword is an example, if you wanted to test on an iOS device.)

Thanks, ybic
Nic. :)
