"No. diatheke is certainly not the gold standard for seeing anything.
Diatheke has bugs of its own.
I personally use word/examples/cmdline/lookup.cpp to check all info
about what SWORD output from a module entry to a frontend for a particular
format.
Diatheke is not a bad tool to use, but it is certainly not considered
any kind of standard. I have no idea why it is, for example, showing headings
AFTER verse 1. This is certainly a bug and has likely been fixed since the
version you are using."
-----
FWIW, The Windows versions of diatheke still output the Psalm title AFTER verse
1 for the KJV and other modules.
And in this respect, the copy of diatheke.exe installed with Xiphos (x32)
version 4.2.1 (just released) still behaves the same.
Has this been ever made a tracker issue under MODTOOLs ?
Best regards,
