[sword-devel] Creation of commentary using osis..

[DM Smith]

Pierre,

With a reference like <reference osisRef="Eph.2.1">Ephesians 2:1</ 
reference> the OSIS manual indicates that the osisRef is to be  
understood as a reference to the same work. So properly, it refers to  
the same commentary in which it is found.

The proper way to reference this would be to include a workID as a  
prefix, such as Bible. Then it would be <reference osisRef="Bible:Eph. 
2.1">Ephesians 2:1</reference>.

To refer to a particular work, a more specific workID would be used,  
perhaps KJV or Bible.KJV.

The workID is supposed to be declared in the header of the document.  
The workID can be anything. It is the declaration that makes it  
meaningful. But since Sword does not retain the document header, a  
reliable mechanism is needed.

We have discussed this before and have come up with the idea that the  
workID should match the module id (i.e. the name that is in the [] at  
the top of the module's conf.

Having said all this, Sword does not support osisRefs that have the  
workID prefix.

In His Service,
	DM
