[sword-devel] OSIS markup best practice: sanity check

[DM Smith]

I think Troy has a binding to the SWORD library in Java. If it exposes the same as Peter mentions, you can call out from xslt to Java. We do something similar for JSword.

JSword can do some level of parsing of the references, but your example is not in a form that JSword can parse.
