[sword-devel] IMP format for Daily Devotionals?

[DM Smith]

For GenBook there is DisplayLevel, which addresses the display of the selected key and some number of parents.

There are the following modules having it:
concord.conf:DisplayLevel=1
fregbm.conf:DisplayLevel=1
geraugustinus.conf:DisplayLevel=2
lawgospel.conf:DisplayLevel=2
phaistos.conf:DisplayLevel=2
