Michael,
It sounds like you have eol types intermixed within your file. This
script removes all \r's from your file to normalize linefeeds to
newlines. It might help. Make a backup of your file first! :)

I've got a couple modules-in-making both of which I'm working on quote
marks that aren't displaying at all or are displaying block "mystery"
characters. I'm spending time trying to separate apostrophes from
single quotes on both modules with the hope I can preserve or achieve
the ability to use OSIS <Q> tags....
HOWEVER
In both modules, at some point I've lost control of a few characters
and now ms excel or openoffice calc, or jEdit now can't see all the
end of line characters. That is, when I try to open the file VPL, it
almost but not quite works. Some verses are grouped together in
either spreadsheet while jedit sees them as properly separated.
Recently or not so recently I saw a comment in some post describing a
way or a program with summarizes all 'non-ascii' or 'out of this
encoding' characters that appear in a file. I've spent time searching
for this post but cannot locate it or any information about this step
on the module creation wiki.
Can someone enlighten me (again) as to the best method to find
offending characters and deal with them?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

PS. Modules in progress are based on these documents:
1. Holy New Covenant (public domain on publication in 2004.)
http://www.thomhackett.com/the-holy-new-covenant.htm
The "palm doc" file actually opens as a ms word 97 or 2003 file.) It
is my intention to get this into sword to evaluate it as to it's
readability and usability. From my cursory review is is a fairly
faithful treatment of scripture. Galilee Translation Team mentioned
appears to be affiliated with The Church of Christ in some way.
2. The Riverside New Testament (published 1923 and copyright renewed
(1948?) according to Google, but even if still copyrighted should be
distributable within the next decade... If I have my facts straight).

Came to me as a 'zefania' xml file. Note that this file is now (after
I started working on this last year) already available in OSIS format at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/zefania-sharp/files/Osis%20XML%20Modules%20%28raw%29/
so this is really more of an exercise in 'what am I doing wrong' for me.
