[sword-devel] How do I encode osisRefs to lexicons?

[Joachim Ansorg]

Hi,
thank you (and Chris) for your replies.

Shouldn't the prefix refer to an OSISWork? Or is Bible defined for that. I 
don't remember I read that in the OSIS manual. But I don't know that too 
well.

If it refers to a work we probably need to define some Sword standard works 
like Bible, Commentary to refer to the standard Bible or commentary. Or am I 
wrong here?

Which raises the following question for me: How do I link from a Bible into a 
lexicon? Or into a (default) commentary?

I'm confused, please help me :)

The 1.5.8 utils don't include verse tags but I think Troy gave his ok for 
changes after 1.5.8.
I'd be glad to some Sword guidelines so frontend developers know what do do or 
what to expect.
That brings up the question of start and end marker handling which are in 
different verses. 

Thanks,
Joachim
