Chris, Sorry - I meant poetry not quotation marks. I've been using Unicode quotations in UTF-8 instead of <<, < etc. I read somewhere that the Unicode quotations in UTF-8 would not require osis markup, which would avoid the problem nested quotes or quotes going across chapter or section divisions. The original text does not make good use of quotation marks too which requires this approach, as it often inserts an additional opening quotation mark at each new paragraph within a quoted section, while only having one closing quotation mark and the very end. I trust that using Unicode characters will therefore avoid problems in osis and module creation.

USFM offers \qt to mark OT quotations found in the NT, if that's what your thinking of. If you just mean quoted speech, there are two standard conventions: Modern USFM editions, especially those that are encoded in UTF-8, simply encode the marks themselves in UTF-8. Older SFM sometimes encodes quotation marks as <<, >>, <, and > for double left & right and single left and right quotation marks respectively. usfm2osis.pl decodes these and marks them with OSIS <q>. --Chris _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
