[sword-devel] How to detect books available in a given module ?

[David Haslam]

Hi Pierre,

The reason that emptyvss OSHB gives no output is simple.

In this module, every verse specified for "Versification=MT" has some text.

Refer to https://wiki.crosswire.org/Alternate_Versification

(Wait until DM has fixed the certificate expiry problem)


​Best regards,

David
