[sword-devel] A new alternate versification?

[Libor Štefek]

Hi Tuomas,

I don't know almost anything about sword module internals (yet), but it 
seems to me weird to have such data (versification) only hard coded. 
Would it be better to have a chance to provide some kind of mapping in 
module data itself? It would allow to specify, for example, a different 
book order for a module, if that doesn't match standard...

If I see these two ("best fit" or "cheat"), I would probably go for 
"cheat", and give up parallel view ...

Thanks for a great AndBible!
