RE: Book intros.
The best way I know of to include Book level intro material into Sword data
structure is to make it a note on Verse 1. This will allow it to appear
visible to the end user without disrupting scripture display in parallel
too much, and most/all front ends will provide annotation tex
I, like others, was also hoping for a way to put book introductions into
some bible format for translation into mod format. So far I've come up
relatively empty, and it seems reasonably obvious that at least OSIS
doesn't provide for book-level introductions, let alone chapter-level,
without some st

I think a heuristic along the line of "Does this book group contain only

I just noticed that bsb.conf includes Feature=NoParagraphs.
This is an error; the module has paragraph formatting. But Xiphos
selects verse-per-line display by default in the presence of
Feature=NoParagraphs. This can be turned off.___

The BSB module begins with some introductory text about the
translation. To view it, you typically have to go to Genesis 1:1, and
then scroll up.
That content exists as intro material to Genesis -- that's not a module

The module team has a usfm2osis.py to convert USFM to OSIS. Michael also has
one. The nature of USFM is that it’s goal is presentation not OSIS’s nature of

I’m pretty sure neither ha

bookgroups can be nested within bookgroups and can refer to any grouping

Xiphos does, but for only book and chapter, obtained as 0:0 and [1-n]:0.
It has no awareness of module or testament intros. How are these
accessed in terms of
There is a bug in osis2mod that places new testament introductory material at
the end of Malachi rather than in the NT. There are at least 4 Jira issues on
this.
I’m open to suggestions. Especially from the modules team.
Right now osis2mod does not handle module, OT and NT introductory material
