Thanks DM, it seems a little clearer, but still not in any way that
helps me to programmatically convert a <w > tag pair to into a strong's
number.

Are there any diatheke authors present?

I cannot just parse diatheke output, but I need to know which section of
text the strong's number applys to, not just the approximate region
where it is found.

>By the way, what are you going to do once you get the Strong's number?

Highlight the word or phrase that the number corresponds to.
