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

[David Haslam]

The GerSch module was made from an input file that had GBF markup.

It’s not OSIS.

These H tags record the verse references for the original av11n.

The module was made in 2013.
But the source text was from much earlier, 2006.

It might be suitable for rebuilding if we can still obtain the 1951 source text.

There should now be a more suitable v11n than the default KJV that was used in 2006 & 2013.
