[sword-devel] eBible xref

[DM Smith]

I found the following in eBible’s kud2008eb. The following is Matt.1.1.

<div type="x-milestone" subType="x-preverse" sID="pv1"/><div sID="gen5" type="section"/><title canonical="false" type="sub">Yeisu Besinana ana mumugao </title><title type="parallel">(<reference osisRef="Luke.3.23">Luke 3:23-38</reference>) </title><div sID="gen6" type="x-p"/> <div type="x-milestone" subType="x-preverse" eID="pv1"/>Laulele teina Besinana Yeisu ana mumugao vehabadi. Yeisu tubuna Deivida, na Deivida tubuna mugamugaina Abelaham. 

The problem is that the osisRef is incomplete. It should be osisRef="Luke.3.23-Luke.3.38”.

The impact is that clicking on the reference in Bible Desktop, it only shows Luke 3:23.

The following is just extra. It is in addition to the bug mentioned above.

It is also really odd that there is a second title that contains a parenthesized, inlined reference.

The type="sub” is meant to give a sub part of a title. Since there is no prior title, it shouldn’t be sub. As a plain title, it doesn’t need an attribute.

Also, the type=“parallel” is inappropriate. The OSIS manual gives that parallel is meant to provide the title in another language. The type sub is probably more appropriate. Or even type="continued” which means that this title continues the last.

Note that canonical=“false” is redundant. All titles by default are canonical=“false”.
