That certainly looks bad in Xiphos. I think it is a rendering bug.

I'm curious what it looks like when headings are turned off
I closed his report a little while ago.
It's clearly not a bug in Xiphos; when I breakpoint in the display
code
to catch the content coming back from the engine, there is a clear
excess of the use of "<!/P><br />". They're all over the place, in
headings and in the text. Also, his module ends every verse in a
paragraph spec, so even when Xiphos is not displaying the module in
verse-per-line mode, it's still showing as verse-per-line.
When headings are turned off, the entire excess-whitespace problem
disappears, though the discrepancy due to the module's
every-verse-is-a-paragraph problem persists, of course.
The syntax I used is taken from Esther book example from
http://bibletechnologies.net/osistext/ (the first PDF)
I copy an example over from there:
<p>
<verse sID="Esth.1.9" osisID="Esth.1.9" />
While the men were enjoying themselves, Queen Vashti gave the
women a big dinner inside the royal palace.
<verse eID="Esth.1.9" />
</p>
<p>
<verse sID="Esth.1.10" osisID="Esth.1.10" />
By the seventh day, King Xerxes was feeling happy because of so
much wine. And he asked his seven personal servants, Mehuman,
Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carkas,
<verse eID="Esth.1.10" />
<verse sID="Esth.1.11" osisID="Esth.1.11" />
to bring Queen Vashti to him. The king wanted her to wear her
crown and let his people and his officials see how beautiful she
was.
<verse eID="Esth.1.11" />
<verse sID="Esth.1.12" osisID="Esth.1.12" />
The king's servants told Queen Vashti what he had said, but she
refused to go to him, and this made him terribly angry.
<verse eID="Esth.1.12" />
</p>
It is clear, that using <p> forces linebreaks between paragraphs
(which
I have at every versebreak, I get the OSIS from a selfmade script and
plan to remove some of these manually later, but before that I want to
be sure that everything else is fine).
I still think <!/P> and <br/> shouldn't appear together, that creates
this enormous space.
The example in the manual is correct. A paragraph can consist of a
single verse, but typically it consists of many. Having it around
every verse is simply not right and looks like one is trying to force
verse-per-line. I'm glad to hear that you are aware of this as a
problem.
Regarding where the "<! P/><br/>" is, it is in the SWORD engine, in
the osishtmlhref filter, which Xiphos uses. So the problem is not for
osis2mod or for Xiphos (or any other front-end) but for the SWORD
engine.
I'm going to be submitting a patch for that code and I'll take this
into consideration as well. I'm going to need a bit of help as I don't
have a clue as to what <! P/> is or how it is used in the engine or
front-ends.
In Him,
DM
