[jsword-devel] Error with Strongs tags in Russian RST bible

[DM Smith]

The problem seems to be the following:
RST produces:
<div>
	<title type='x-gen'>
		Colossians 1:1
	</title>
	<verse osisID='Col.1.1'>
		<w lemma='strong:3972'>
			Павел
		</w>
		, 
		<w lemma='strong:1223|strong:2307'>
			волею
		</w>
		 
		<w lemma='strong:2316'>
			Божиею
		</w>
		 
		<w lemma='strong:652'>
			Апостол
		</w>
		 
		<w lemma='strong:2424'>
			Иисуса
		</w>
		 
		<w lemma='strong:5547'>
			Христа
		</w>
		, 
		<w lemma='strong:2532'>
			и
		</w>
		 
		<w lemma='strong:5095'>
			Тимофей
		</w>
		<w lemma='strong:80'>
			брат
		</w>
		,
	</verse>
</div>
KVJ produces:
<div>
	<title type='x-gen'>
		Colossians 1:1
	</title>
	<verse osisID='Col.1.1'>

		,
	</verse>
</div>

There are 2 significant differences in the RST:
First is does not prefix the various Strong's Numbers with G or H. Second it separates two numbers in a row with '|' rather than ' '.

The first problem has to be fixed in ..../GBFilter.java as there is no way of telling whether a value is Greek (G) or Hebrew (H) otherwise. The numbers overlap. The second can be fixed in either simple.xsl (or whatever you are using), or in GBF Filter. Since OSIS specifies a space, GBFFilter should be changed. Also, it fixes it once for all frontends.
