[sword-devel] Chapter descriptions

[Michael H]

Reading the list of provided tags, these chapter descriptions should be
marked ".index" when they provide reference information, and ".summary"
where they do not.  That is, the original KJV1611 has chapter indexes.  The
original Douay Rheims Challoner has Chapter summaries. The recent update to
the CPDV includes chapter summaries. The AKJV update includes Chapter
indexes (which is ready, but I haven't heard from Peter on how to proceed.)
