[sword-devel] Diatheke ?

Hi Greg,

With Plain output format, there's a minor side effect in the way the Psalm title was output in the wrong place.
Verse 2 of the same Psalm was output with a leading space before the Reference.

This might be less obvious in a terminal, but it's quite evident when the output is piped to a file.

Please ensure that the patch also removes this spurious space, if perhaps it ddidn't do so already.

While I'm on a roll, I noticed also that there's a subtle change in how diatheke treats the start and end of a hi element.
There's now a space after the leading asterisk and another space before the trailing asterisk.

If this change was unintended, it ought to be reverted for consistency with earlier versions.

Best regards,

David

Therefore, it is properly rendering that content as preverse, but it has attached it to the wrong verse. Output from my slightly modified diatheke confirms this:
