[sword-devel] proposed patch: adding n=X marker content to footnotes and xrefs

[Ben Morgan]

BPBible uses its own filters for notes to put the note number/letter in, so
it shouldn't affect BPBible at all.

Personally, I've never liked the *x/*n style and I think that in particular
*xA/*xB looks very ugly.
 BPBible just outputs the letter/number, but colour-codes the
note/cross-reference to distinguish between the two. This in my opinion
gives a much cleaner look.

God Bless,
Ben
