View source for OSIS pre-verse titles

== Pre-verse titles ==

These further notes are pasted from a recent thread in the SWORD devel mailing list.

=== Notes ===

The title's type value is ignored by the SWORD engine. It is used by osis2mod when the title is before the first verse in a chapter.

Here are those rules, taken from osis2mod:
<ol start="2">
<li> Between the opening of a chapter and the first verse, the material is split between the introduction of the chapter and the first verse of the chapter.
* A &lt;div> with a type of section will be taken as surrounding verses.
* A &lt;title> of type other than main, chapter or sub, will be taken as a title for the verse.
* Once one of these conditions is met, the division between chapter introduction and pre-verse is set.
</li>
</ol>

Everywhere else in osis2mod, it is ignored.

Currently, the SWORD engine uses subType="x-preverse" to know that the verse number should follow the heading.

=== Bug in osishtmlhref.cpp ===

There is code in there that is supposed to recognize everything between two verse markers as being pre-verse material, but it does not work.

When that works, the subType="x-preverse" should not be needed. It shouldn't be needed now as osis2mod knows when a title is pre-verse and can mark it as such.
