[sword-devel] Orphaned verse tags in SWORD modules

[DM Smith]

osis2mod does not understand the CDATA construct <![CDATA[some stuff]]> nor does the SWORD parser. The OSIS schema (xsd) defines text as xs:string, not xs:normalizeString. So spaces, tabs and newlines are not to be collapsed or replaced. I think CDATA and #PCDATA is an SGML construct, not an XML one.

However, osis2mod does convert newlines to spaces and collapses consecutive strings of spaces to a single space. The only newline in the module is at the end of the each stored entry in the module’s data file.

All consecutive strings of whitespace characters in XML cdata segments is supposed to be collapsed to a single space character upon processing. If we've got newlines showing up in places that a newline isn't indicated from markup, then it sounds like the issue is in the render filter, not the OSIS. But I'd have to know what OSIS construct you're referring to.
