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

[Nic Carter]

Hi Laurie,

Try creating a pretend-Bible and put a bunch of your text all in Gen 1:1 & see how it looks. Marking something as poetry will automatically indent it a little in PocketSword & so you will be wasting some screen space for "normal" text when you're on a small screen...

If you have more PocketSword questions, how about you ask me off the list so as to not clog it up with specifics related to PS-only? :)

Thanks, ybic
Nic :)
