I agree with Karl.
I have used the standard filters & played with css to make it display properly
on an iPhone screen vs iPad screen, but that hasn't changed the text itself
(just padding, borders, etc, to make it easier to read on a small or medium
sized screen). Also, using those same filters
Thanks for the email Karl. Yes, when I read Laurie's concise and

them. I started the

up at all. Some of the bugs-me is non-specific, some is very speci

As a general FYI, when I would test for conformity to how text should display,
I used to test PocketSword vs Xiphos vs Eloquent/MacSword vs BPBible. My
testing showed that they were a reasonable source of test cases. If something
looked right in them but not in PS, I knew I had a bug. :)
(Karl,
I find it odd that this discussion died out without any further
consideration from other app or engine developers as to why the apps'
delivery varies.

In all honesty, I have no idea what Xiphos (as the object of my personal
concern) could do differently. We use th

To qualify Karl's response, I think the OSIS genbook support is less solid than
THML.

Thanks Karl ... but not many, if any, use more than basic markup?
If I am chasing something which is not achievable, I'll drop it ...

Thanks Peter,
I have attached another set of test mods and source with the tags.
The paragraphs display correctly in Xiphos, BPBible and Xulsword but
not in BibleTime or BT-Mini or AndBible.
Really appreciate if you can look at my modules as to whe
Looking at the OSIS manual again, I tried the milestone line break -
and it works, albeit differently on different
front ends e.g. BT displays each break and Xiphos strips extra
linebreaks inserted to give a blank line.

Hi Laurie,
Try creating a pretend-Bible and put a bunch of your text all in Gen 1:1 & see
how it looks. Marking something as poetry will automatically indent it a little
in PocketSword & so you will be wasting some screen space for "normal" text
when you're on a small screen...
If you have mor

Did I miss something ... Is line spacing the same... it was hard to
tell? I would love to try my test mods
Ahh, no, sorry. Devotionals, commentaries, Bibles & dictionaries :)

I have PocketSword 1.45 on an Ipod and Iphone - Is there a way for it
to display general books?

Hi Laurie,
Some front-ends will apply some special formatting for poetry & you don't want
that formatting for your modules, so don't mark it as poetry & you'll be fine :)
(PocketSword is an example, if you wanted to test on an iOS device.)
Thanks, ybic
Nic. :)

Thanks Karl,
Both BibleTime and Xulsword display the table as in my test module.
The markup for tables was copy / paste from the Crosswire wiki OSIS
page.
Line indents are important for poetry markup .. I'll have to delve
again into how this is done in OSIS bibles... but last time I checked,

I have heard now and again that tables don't survive OSIS->anything

Thanks Karl,
Xiphos is displaying most of the OSIS markup - with exceptions seen in
my test module:
- line indents using
- some formats
- tables
again, it may be an incorrect OSIS markup or conf file in my module

Hi,
Will need to look at your example files later.
Right now - the links are a long lasting bug bear of all of us. The wiki layout
is the desired and correct one. The engine implementation of that is dodgy and
needs fixing. We decided a while back to leave the wiki as it stands because
