[INVALID.NOREPLY]

Follow-up Comment #6, task #8078 (project bibledit):

OSIS paragraph and section - I read your comments in osis.cpp line 150
onwards. and had a look at the overall code and the osis output of 3.3.15

There are two ways of encoding OSIS books - one is to have a module divided
into books, sections and paragraphes (b/s/p) , where chapter and verses are
encoded as milestones <verse sID=x/> <verse eID=x/>, the other one is to
abandon paragraphs and sections and user chapter and verse as containers
(b/c/v/).

You have chosen an approach of chapter and verse as container which is
contrary to what appears best OSIS practice -  but is not wrong. But if you do
this, then you simply can not use sections and paragraphs as you can not have
overlapping containers.

There is good use of b/c/v  modules - they are particularly useful as
starting points for a goBible module (which is a bible for mobile phone), but
they are not so good for Crosswire modules as the best features are only
available with a /b/s/p/ approach. Particularly non canonical content like
titles is better off if in a /b/s/p approach.

I wonder whether it would make sense to have a choice of a /b/s/p or b/c/v
approach before export and only former should get titles etc incorporated.
