[sword-devel] verse position problems

Hello!
Hopefully someone can point me in the correct direction.

I am working on a New Testament written in a RtL language. The XML validates, and as far as I can tell the OSIS formatting is correct.

BUT, whenever I generate a module using osis2mod, and any combination of -z and -v (I tried them all) I keep getting results which place a verse number at the start of a paragraph on a line by itself before the actual paragraph. To make it more confusing, this only occurs for verse numbers that aren’t immediately after a chapter number.

 I don’t think I can send a screen shot, but the below might suffice. (Keep in mind it is an arabic alphabet derived language.)

Instead of:
Chapter 1
1 Verse text of some kind. 2 Continuing verse text.

3 New paragraph. 4 Continuing new paragraph.

5 Another new one. 6 Continuing new one.

I get:
Chapter 1
1 Verse text of some kind. 2 Continuing verse text.

3
New paragraph. 4 Continuing new paragraph.

5
Another new one. 6. Continuing new one.

What could this be? I suspect it has something to do with the osis2mod options, but I have tried everything! Is it the font? Have I not formatted the entire OSIS document properly? I admit to not finding anything which conclusively helped me with how to code the transition from book to book, but would this affect verse numbers?

Much thanks!
Shane
