[sword-devel] Short/Long Bible & Commentary Modules

[David Haslam]

When Mg1865 is next updated, it will have Versification=German.

I’m currently working on this.

Aside: Modules that have verses missing at end of chapter also cause the Xiphos navigation controls for next / previous [verse] to get stuck.
