[sword-devel] Osis Psalms canonical titles

[DM Smith]

In the Bible, some translations the Psalm titles stand before verse 1. This is how the KJV does it. Other translations have it as verse 1.

osis2mod tries to identify whether a title that stands before verse 1 should be a chapter title (i.e. verse 0) or should be a verse title (i.e. verse 1). And it marks up titles in a fashion that SWORD engine expects. Dumping the module using mod2imp, will show how well or badly this was done.

I think the problem here is the order of elements. So rather than <title><verse sID/>…<verse eID/></title> use <verse sID/><title>…</title><verse eID/>.

The attribute canonical=“true” is supposed to tell the SWORD engine to always show the title. I think there are still problems with that. So, try turning Headers on, when you don’t see them.

In Him,
