It would be really cool if the SWORD API could be enhanced to support the
expansion of the OSIS element abbr.
Example: <abbr type="x-Roman" expansion="30">.xxx.</abbr>
When selected via the enhanced UI in any SWORD front-end app, the expansion
value should be displayed in place of the abbreviation.
Please would SWORD (& JSword) developers seriously consider implementing this.
NB. We may soon have a suitable candidate module for testing this functionality.
I would like to see all the numbers that use lowercase Roman numerals which are
found within verse text in the Bible module Tyndale suitably encoded using the
abbr element. Implementing this enhancement to the OSIS XML source text is
eminently scriptable.
Aside: First, we must ensure that all these instances are tidied up, and
consistently wrapped between 2 periods as they are in the printed edition.
Please refer to my feedback observations sent to the module team.
Best regards,
David
