[sword-devel] OSIS files with Tables and Nesting warnings from osis2mod

[David Haslam]

Thanks DM.

Sound advice if you were speaking to a translator but it’s not as if any of us are.

The context is preparing the text for building a SWORD module for a modern translation done by a third party.

We’re not at liberty to change the SFM markup already provided.

We have to deal with things as they are; not with how we’d like them to be.

And the tables markup is in the USFM.
