[sword-devel] Question regarding special markup in Psalms and SWModule::stripText

Hi,
when working with the German Schlachter Bibel (1951) [GerSch] I noticed
that there's some special markup in the Psalms:
Ein Psalm Davids, als er vor seinem Sohne Absalom floh.
<H3-2> Ach, HERR, wie zahlreich sind meine Feinde! Viele stehen wider
mich auf;
<H3-3> viele sagen von meiner Seele: «Sie hat keine Hilfe bei Gott.»
(Pause.)
<H3-4> Aber du, HERR, bist ein Schild um mich, meine Ehre und der mein
Haupt emporhebt.
...
It may be a beginners question - what's the purpose of the <H*-*> markup?
Is there a filter option in the Sword API that would allow me to not
show it?
To get the text of the verse I'm using the API function
SWModule::stripText().
In the Sword code it says that this function "calls all StripTextFilters
on current text" and that it returns the "module's text at specified key
location massaged by Strip filters".
Am I using the right function? Do I have to apply additional filters to
remove the markup mentioned above?
Best regards,
Tobias
