[sword-devel] Orphaned verse tags in SWORD modules

[David Haslam]

Eliminating orphaned verse tags can be done by tweaking the OSIS input file.

The workaround involves moving some verse eID milestones such that there are no other OSIS elements before the next verse sID milestone.

Except, of course, at a chapter boundary.

The fact that I enquired about XML whitespace in a separate email should not deflect anyone from thinking that this issue is anything to do with whitespace.

Whether this is partly due to anything in our software or wholly due to the conversion from USFM to OSIS is now the main focus, or should be.

I added an issue in adyeths/u2o just as he requested.

Best regards,

David

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.

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.
