Hi Troy.

You are refering to modules that have xrefs encoded?
I used the 'lookup' tool with the TSK module but it seems it doesn't have
crossReference tags.
Well, quite understandable, this module is a collection of xrefs.
But it also contains a lot of text which I can't use and display for none
english speakers.
So I would like to pull out the cross-reference keys only but how to
distinguish between a reference in a comment/text and the real
cross-references in this module.
Maybe it would be best to do that at module source level but I'm not sure.

IMO cross-references not necessarily need to be encoded in the bible module
itself. It doesn't help me if some have cross-references and some don't. For
bible study I need cross-refs everywhere for every module no matter which
language and for which country it is. In my understanding cross-references
are not bible translation specific and thus not module specific.
One good source for cross-references would be fully sufficient for all bible
modules.

Manfred
