[sword-devel] verse position problems

[DM Smith]

When you run osis2mod it displays the version number. What is it? You might be using a version that does not handle paragraph markup between verses.

Otherwise:
I think this may be solved in Bible Desktop, where we use arabic numbers so they flow with everything else. Can you give that a try. You will need to pick Persian as the interface language to get it to do that. (I know arabic and farsi are different languages, but we can see the results then.)

If then it shows properly, it is not a module problem.

In Him,
	DM
