OSIS Genbooks

Introduction

Much of what follows applies to any OSIS file, but there are a few features unique to genbooks (mainly in structure). This document aims to provide a complete, though not exhaustive, account of how to encode an OSIS genbook to become a SWORD module.

Root Node

The root node for a Genbook is the same as any other OSIS document.

Example OSIS Genbook

The following is the text of a valid OSIS XML file which serves as a template for an OSIS Genbook for SWORD. Not all possible features are demonstrated here, but the file serves as an example of how to encode a Genbook. You should be able to copy the contents to a text editor, save it to a file as *.xml, and validate it against the OSIS schema.
