[sword-devel] verse position problems - osis2mod version

Shane,

r2519 introduced a regression to the handling of content between verses. It was restored in r2671.

That is to say, you have a version (over 2 years old) that produces the problem. You need a more recent version (r2671 or later). Since you are on ubuntu, it is easy enough to build osis2mod from source.

If you need help with that let us know.

If you haven't been to our "man" page on the wiki, here is the link: http://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Osis2mod

It gives the history of changes to the program.

In Him,
	DM Smith
