I just ran BT on my Linux (F42) box, and it found my journals/prayer 
list modules directly, no need to export or elsehow re-introduce. They 
appear in BT as just "Books," BT not providing special handling for such 
modules.

I tried exporting an archive of a journal into Bishop, but Bishop 
doesn't seem to grasp its existence at all, aside from being listed as 
an installed module. I see no mechanism by which actually to use books.

All that the Archive function of Xiphos' Module Manager → Maintenance 
provides is to dump the content from under ~/.sword into a zip file. 
There's no conversion process at all. In Xiphos, journal/prayer list 
content is internally HTML. Whether other apps comprehend that is not 
Xiphos' business, but clearly BT understands them.
