[sword-devel] osis2mod and Xinclude ?

[David Haslam]

Thanks DM,

Indeed it has, and I’ve used it myself to create updated test versions of the KJVA module, by appending the DC books to a module created first from the PC books.

However that concept is not foreseen as a potential method to be used by Dom Corbex in his module creation script.

If osis2mod could run with that, it would be a simpler task to update the KJVA module whenever the KJV module is being updated.
