For a complete Bible it is as you’d think, but if there is only one testament or an incomplete testament, first may not refer to Genesis or Matthew. Also, if a book or chapter doesn’t start with chapter or verse 1, then first doesn’t refer to 1.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">BTW, Intro, Heading, and Title are treated as the same. The toggle for headings handles all three the same. Initially the thought was that there were only titles and sub-titles.<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Bible Intro. Osis2mod doesn’t know how to properly handle this. Everything before the first testament is gathered as the Bible intro. OSIS doesn’t require testament divisions, but these are needed to identify a Bible intro. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Testament Intro. Osis2mod doesn’t know how to properly handle this. Everything before the first book is gathered as a testament intro. Everything after the last book of the Old Testament and before the first book of the New Testament is gathered as the NT intro.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Because osis2mod doesn’t know how to address Bible and Testament intro it is put in the first location it knows is after that point. Practically, it becomes intro material in the first chapter.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Book Intro. Everything inside the book tag before the first chapter tag is a Book intro. While it is placed in chapter 0, verse 0 for the book, you never explicitly address 0. Osis2mod will figure it out.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Chapter Intro. This is the most difficult. A chapter intro comes after the chapter tag and comes before the tag for verse 1. But some can be an intro that goes with the chapter and some is taken as the intro to a verse. Since it is hard to control where one ends and the next begins, the wiki has carefully laid out how osis2mod distinguishes the two. Special treatment is needed for canonical Psalm headings. That which goes with the chapter intro is put into verse 0 for that chapter, but you never explicitly address 0. Osis2mod will figure it out as well. The rest is prefixed to verse 1 with special markup that osis2mod adds.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Verse intro (aka titles). This is everything between 2 verses after the last closing tag of the prior verse and before the start verse tag.

<div align="left" class=""><font face="Arial" size="2" class=""><span style=" font-size:10pt" class="">Specifically, how are we supposed to tag (in OSIS) the introductory material in a Bible? The wiki page says that SWORD looks
for module, testament, book and chapter introductory material." In the Bibles I am working on, everything inside of chapter tags is
being displayed, but none of the stuff outside the chapter tags is being displayed.</span></font></div>

be placed into testament 1 or 2, book 0, chapter 0, verse 0." What does this mean? Where do you tag the testament number, the
book number, etc? This is not explained in the OSIS documentation, which only mentions book abbreviations, and nothing about
testaments.</span></font></div>
