How should crossreferences be included?
The text I have has a separate x-ref document which I will merge in one
way or another with the actual text.
I've seen these a few times before in SFM document sets.
There are no markers right now in the text, but words are marked up as
"keywords" and in the x-ref file these words are quoted again.
Do I understand correctly that the Bible file and the footnotes file
both contain an indication of what content the footnote refers to?
Let's say SFM \kw marks a keyword and you have text:
\v 2 blah blah blah \kw important words \kw* blah blah
Then the notes file has something like:
\v 2 \f \kw important words \kw* note note note note \f*
The obvious solution would be to use this with the OSIS markup of
<catchWord> to link the reference and the keyword. Should this be done
with a single massive note and all "catchwords" per verse:
<note><catchWord>blah</catchWord><reference>blah:12.3</reference><catchword>.......<reference>......
</note>
or with each a note per keyword?
Since the notes are really separate notes, I would certainly place them
in separate <note> elements. I would also recommend placing them
adjacent to the words they discuss. So the above pseudo-SFM would be
<verse>blah blah blah important words<note><catchWord>important
words</catchWord> note note note note</note> blah blah </verse>
