Yes, I can. I can send the module compiled or just osis or both privately. Just
let me know that you want it, and I will send it. The module is in the
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:modules@crosswire.org">modules@crosswire.org</a> inbox waiting for action, but there are a number of
problems with it that I haven't been able to solve. Actually, aside from the
book introductions, GS handles the module the best out of all the front-ends.

Yes, I was aware of that. What I was getting at is a combination of content
unconnected to a verse or range of verses (such as introductory matter in a
commentary), content connected to a range of verses, and content connected to a
single verse all in one work. This kind of content should be preserved as one
work, in my opinion, but how do you encode something like that?

The idea of multiple types of content being preserved in multiple types of
windows is a good step beyond where commentaries are today, but I guess I would
just be interested to see how we can preserve the integrity of the original work
while at the same time not making it a coding nightmare.
