1 Is there a KJVA Bible that I can download or obtain for Sword (v1.5.11) or Bibledit (or other program to view a Sword module)? I'd like to check the v11n etc.
I just realized that I haven't yet posted any demo v11n modules for anything other than the Leningrad v11n, so I will put that at the head of my todo list for the weekend.
We should then have Leningrad, KJVA, NRSV, NRSVA, MT, and Synodal (which was added to SVN last weekend) demo modules, which simply list the verse name within each verse.
I'll try to find an OSIS KJVA too, if I have one, and post that as well.
2 Some verses in Esther have both canonical and deutero-canonical text. Since OSIS uses sections which are tagged as canonical or non-canonical (correct me if I am wrong), this method cannot be used to mark both in a single verse. Is there another method to use to denote canonical from non-canonical? My thoughts are to make the non-canonical in italics, partly because this is what the original print edition has done as well (while non-canonical books are not in italics).
The meaning of the canonical attribute is a little confusing. It shouldn't be thought of as indicating canonicity according to any particular group's definition of what is canonical Bible text. It is an indicator of Bible text vs. non-Bible text.
Every verse of every book is canonical="true". Every Psalm title is canonical="true". Notes are canonical="false". Modern book/chapter introductions are canonical="false". Etc.
If the original Bible text renders deuterocanonical material in italics, that seems like a good practice to maintain. I know that no thought (at least no significant thought) has gone into marking protocanonical vs. deuterocanonical material at the OSIS meetings. You could add a subType to your <hi type="italic"> elements, such as subType="x-deuterocanonical", just to make it clear that all of these instances of italics are intended to mark deuterocanonicity.
