[sword-devel] KJV Beta issue

2009-06-10 Thread Brian J. Dumont
I'm using KJV Beta (2.4), and have noticed quite a few paragraph markers (¶) which show up. See Num 16:12 for one example. Shouldn't these be replaced with osis markup to denote paragraphs? ___ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http:

Hi there, I have a few commentaries that I've started preparing. They use linked verses heavily. Two methods are given for linking on the wiki, only one works. References like: annotateRef="Matt.21.1 Matt.21.2 Matt.21.3 Matt.21.4 Matt.21.5 Matt.21.6 Matt.21.7 Matt.21.8 Matt.21.9" are fine. On

Re: [sword-devel] Tags in modules

The "Concord" module has a number of "foreign" tags throughout, whenever phrases in Latin, German, Greek, or Hebrew are given. You can see an example of Hebrew on the title page (the Divine Name, per the title page of the original). I have planned on adding "quotation" tags to a number of modules
