[sword-devel] Nesting the OSIS title element

[DM Smith]

In the KJV there are titles like:
The First Book of S A M U E L,
OTHERWISE CALLED,
The First Book of K I N G S.
I’ve exaggerated the font sizes.

The level 1 title is “The First Book of SAMUEL,”.
Subordinate to that, level 2, is “The First Book of KINGS.”.
Connecting these is a level 3 title, “OTHERWISE CALLED,”.

But these are really a single title and should be treated as a unit.

So, OSIS has the notion of nesting with types like “sub” and “continued”.

This could be marked up as (please pretend the pretty quotes are straight ones and ignore the spacing):
<title type=“main” level=“1” placement=“centerHead">
	The First Book of SAMUEL,
	<title type=“continued” level=“3”>
		OTHERWISE CALLED,
	</title>
	<title type=“sub” level=“2”>
		The First Book of KINGS.
	</title>
</title>

Hopefully, the nested titles would take on the justification of the parent and not be justified independently.

In Him,
	DM
