USFM is a type of markup language that tells a computer program how to format the text. For instance, each chapter is marked like this "\c 1" or "\c 33".

\v 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
\c 1
\p
\v 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
