Hey Pola, <div><br></div><div>Working with OSIS is pretty straight forward, it's typical mark-up. One suggestion I found useful in this list was to try working in USFM directly first, then convert USFM to OSIS for osis2mod.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There are PROs and CONs (and preferences) either way. In some ways USFM is _very_ simple mark-up:</div><a href="http://paratext.org/about/usfm">http://paratext.org/about/usfm</a><div><br></div><div>My sense is that this makes working with textual issues more direct in some sense because it reduces the complexity of the tags glutting up the document. Conversely though, you are one step removed from osis2mod (usfm2osis). Similarly working with OSIS directly obscures the text a bit with the XML like markup, so it becomes mildly less accessible, and you have to work with XML lint and markup formatting or you get errors, but it seems more direct.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Best thing to do is try making your module, and bring your specific questions to the list. Folks here are friendly, and helpful.</div><div><br></div><div>~A<span></span></div><div><br><div>On Thursday, November 22, 2012, David Haslam wrote:<br>

A few of you will have in depth experience of making commentary modules.<br>
It would be great if you could share the details of your knowledge and<br>
methods.<br>
