In general the imported file will not be available since it is not the source
of those modules. Other than for the KJV itself, Crosswire is not the
authoritative source of the texts. Often any OSIS file is a product of a
conversation from the original source. If anything has been kept it should be a
script to produce that OSIS file so that, if the source material is updated,
the module can be automatically created from it. Very old modules which have
not been updated in a decade+ might not have any reproducible material floating
around at all if they predate that process.
Well, right, I get that, but when the text I want to get at is in the
form of a SWORD module, I don't need the authoritative source, I just
need something I can parse and turn into what I want. Which it turns out
mod2imp will give me, so I guess I don't need the OSIS / TEI / ThML
sources after all. I just expected that Crosswire probably had them
somewhere since https://wiki.crosswire.org/DevTools:Modules mentioned
that Crosswire only accepted module source code when submitting a
module, not a pre-built module.
The KJV(A) module pair are the exception to this and should be located on the
server somewhere.
As for generating LaTeX, I thought the engine could already do that? I thought
Peter had added a filter for that back when he was doing some work with the
texts. You should be able to iterate module and generate the text from there,
if a render filter exists for LaTeX. If not, now would be a great time for you
to learn the filter API (it is akin to an XML SAX style of interface) and write
one!
mod2imp claims to be able to generate LaTeX (something like `mod2imp -r
LATEX AKJV`) but at least the Ubuntu build of libsword-utils mod2imp is
broken in this regard - any time I try to use any of the filters, it
tells me "mod2imp: Unknown argument: LATEX" or something similar for
every single possible output format (OSIS, XHTML, RTF, etc.). I should
try to build SWORD from source and see if that behaves any better.
I don't know what XML SAX even is but it sounds difficult and scary :P
Might be fun to look into if I get the time though.
Thanks for your help!

Gah, I am forgetful. I can just use mod2imp to get parsable text. It's
not exactly what I was looking for but it'll work good enough :D
