[sword-devel] NASB Psalm titles

[David Haslam]

One of the subtleties of OSIS is that the canonical attribute is actually not a theological matter.

It’s easy to jump to the wrong conclusion that SWORD treats it as if it was.

It’s actually a technical attribute relating to the published work it represents in digital format.
So it can just as well appear in a Commentary module as a Bible module.

Anything with canonical=“false” should in theory at least be only because the marked text was not in the original work.

Then the question becomes “What was the original work?”

I will leave you to ponder....
