[sword-devel] Verse parsing

[Dan Adams]

I didn't realize that the BibleCS parser could handle a verse name such as
John 1.1 is this true?

Also, Earlier there was posted a link to a newer testing version of BibleCS,
could someone repost that link?

Joachim and Martin,
	I spent some time trying to track down the German verse parsing
error today and have some information for you.

	To handle the "1. Book" syntax, the parser decides if it has a book
name yet.  It is does not, it strips the '.' and continues parsing. This
leaves the book name as "1 Book".  The German locale does not have entries
that resolve for this.  Maybe you have an argument that the parser shouldn't
strip the '.', but we are doing it now to conform to OSIS, which reserves
the '.' for a BOOK, CHAPTER, VERSE separator (e.g. osisRef syntax for 1 John
1:1 is '1Jn.1.1').  So, for now, could we just get the German locale updated
with entries for books without the '.'? The user will still be able to enter
'1. Johan', but the locale must be able to match '1 Johan'.  Let me know if
this wasn't clear to you and I can explain further.

	Thanks for all your great work!  Looking forward to a release soon!

		-Troy.
