Chris, No need for my sake to work on that for the minute, as I suspect that the apostrophe's etc are not all encoded differently.

Continuation quotation marks like you describe shouldn't be a problem for usfm2osis.pl. It looks for them and should mark them correctly. It would be fairly trivial to make usfm2osis.pl also look for and mark quotation marks (provided there are unique marks for right and left quotes and provided that apostrophe is encoded differently from right and left single quotes), but I haven't seen anyone clamoring for this feature. --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
