In this case, it is already handled correctly by the importer and the engine, but not handled very gracefully by the front-ends. If you put text before the <chapter> element for the first chapter, it will appear in the book introduction entry. Likewise, each chapter can have an introduction placed before the first <verse> element. The right way to encode this in OSIS would be with a <div type="introduction"> element.
The front-ends can access introductions by displaying verse 0:0 (for a book intro) or X:0 (for the intro to chapter X). In the windows front-end, these can be accessed using the spin control to go to chapter/verse 0.

Hi,
I have an OSIS-encoded Bible that provides an introduction to every book. How do I make those accessible in a Sword module? It would be nice to display them at the beginning of each book, just as in a print version. Another viable solution would be to place them into a separate commentary module. How would I go about one or the other? I did not find any relevant instructions on the "Module Making" Developers' page on crosswire.
Thanks, Justus
