Sorry for coming in on the end of this, but this is pretty much what PS does.  I have hacked the filters to instead spit out HTML code with classes defined and then PS uses CSS to define what that looks like (so, with "added" it makes the text grey & in italics).  As time has been going on, I have hacked more and more, as I want more control than what the engine gives me.  :)


Thanks, ybic

ps:  you can crawl thru the PS repo at https://bitbucket.org/niccarter/pocketsword/overview to find the changes.  I keep my own copy of the SWORD lib in BB so as to maintain my changes.  Yes, true, I could be doing this thru patches and write scripts to pull the SWORD lib and applying the patches and building the lib . . .  but un/fortunately I have other things to do with my time (like create an iPad version of PS?)...  ;)
