The other type of markup that is list like is for poetry and such stanza-like text. The <lg>, line group, is meant as a container for <l>, lines, where each line can have a level, indicating the indent level. In our wiki on OSIS, we note that if the level attribute is absent, we presume it is level="1", and that a level of 1 means no indent. The <l> element only occurs within <lg>.
One of the peculiarities of <lg> is that it cannot contain text. Text has to be contained by an element. There are some other elements that can be found in a <lg>: <chapter> <verse> <q> <lb/> <milestone/> <index/> It is intended that <chapter>, <verse> and <q> are milestoned. We recommend that in writing OSIS that every chapter is a valid, well-formed xml fragment. That is, we don't recommend having <chapter> within <lg>. <q> is problematic to have outside of <l>. The semantic of line start is not defined by OSIS. It could be that every <l> begins a new line and </lg> finishes the group. Or that </l> starts a new line and that <lg> starts the group. If the quote is outside it may have a newline on the wrong side. The <milestone type="cQuote"/> is provided for continuation quotes and has the same issue.

In OSIS, we want to represent structure using elements. Presentation markup is held in type and subType attributes. This probably would be best represented as <p type="x-hanging"> or as <lg> and <l>. Note that by using x-hanging you are pretty much guaranteeing that no front-end will provide a hanging indent. There are only a few x-YYYY values that have meaning in SWORD/JSword. The <l level="n"> where n is a whole number is the way to do subsequent line indenting. I think this is the only mechanism that SWORD/JSword provide. Print, large displays and small displays differ in how they respond to presentational markup. Print is a rigid format display governed by margins, font and paper size. Other formats may not be rigid allowing for variations in margin, font and viewport.

The particular indent of the verse number 2 is not something that you should expect to control. Looking through Neh 7, the tabular data I see starts in verse 8. I don't see two rows per verse, but rather 1. > > > 1 aaaaaaa hhh hhh 18 > nnnn 7 > 2 mmmm 9 > jjjj 88 This probably should be something like: <table> <row><cell align="start"><lg><l level="1"><verse sID="Neh.7.8" osisID="Neh.7.1"/>aaaaaaa hhh hhh</l></lg></cell><cell align="end">18</cell></row> <row><cell align="start"><lg><l level="2">nnnn</l><cell><cell align="right">7<verse eID="Neh.7.1" osisID="Neh.7.8"/></cell></row> <row><cell align="start"><lg><l level="2"><verse sID="Neh.7.9" osisID="Neh.7.2"/>mmmm</l></lg></cell><cell align="end">9</cell></row> <row><cell align="start"><lg><l level="2">jjjj</l><cell><cell align="right">88<verse eID="Neh.7.2" osisID="Neh.7.9"/></cell></row> </table> Note: Having the verse start w/in <l> ensures that the verse number is not orphaned on the previous line.
