Given Sword's current architecture for commentaries, that would be the best method of encoding them (for use in Sword). In reality, commentaries are generally a bit more free-form, but to use them in Sword you'll want to treat them as if they have the same structure as Bibles, basically.

There is a little commentary-specific markup in OSIS, but Sword wouldn't specifically recognize it. osis2mod will pass it along, unaltered, should the front-ends wish to do anything with it.

What is the proper markup for a Commentary in OSIS so that it can be loaded as a Sword Module? As I looked at it, if I were to mark up a commentary as an OSIS Bible with the content about a verse using the <verse> and <chapter> tags, and make the ModDrv=RawCom then it will work just fine. The only trick is to encode the osisID of the verse to be a list of individual osisIDs of the verses to which the content refers.

In looking at osis2mod, I did not see anything else that would work. Am I missing something? Is there commentary specific markup? And would Sword recognize it?
