The KJV has book and chapter intros. These are merely the title for the book
and chapter, but they'll be a good test case.
I don't know of any that have a module intro or a testament intro.
I haven't added them to osis2mod as I don't know how to reference them in the
SWORD lib.
I don't know how to detect them using SWORD lib.
I do think it'd be good to have an indicator in the conf for these.
Currently these are treated as "headings", but they can be much more than that.
I have the intro to the KJV, but haven't put it in the source yet because I
don't know how to get it into the module.
In Him,
DM
