I don’t think this is the case (can you take a look for 
yourself?). CzeCEP seems to be really simple text-only module.  
No footnotes, no cross-references, not nothing.

Well, could you suggest some strategy how to fix the XML (it is 
available https://gitlab.com/mcepl/czecep/raw/master/CzeCEP.xml) 
so the versification is correct?  Just to go chapter by chapter 
and make sure the number of verses in a chapter corresponds to 
the printed book?

I would actually like to have a good sources for this module 
(and associated pipeline, Makefile, issue tracker, etc.), 
because I see a need for further development. This is the most 
common Bible in the Czech language (kind of middle-of-the-road, 
something like NIV in English) and it is widely used by both 
Protestants and Catholics (that "E" stands for "Ecumenical", it 
is a joint project by all Christians in the Czech lands). And 
the Catholics pester me constantly they would like to have 
deuterocanonical/apocryphal books as well.

So, I hope to persuade the Czech Bible Society to make the 
publishing rights absolutely clear (currently we are in 
negotiating, they don't know what to do themselves yet, because 
it was developed so long time ago; on the other hand I have 
a strong argument, and they accepted it, that presence of the 
module in Sword won’t hurt their sales), and develop this module 
into something which would be well working and maintained.

Blessings,

Matěj
