Chapter descriptions or indices containing verse numbers could be suitably enhanced by using the \xt_…\xt* marker to mark each of the verse numbers and employing the extended attribute syntax to provide the full target reference.

This was first outlined to me by Jeff Klassen of UBS ICAP.

Best regards,

That is, the original KJV1611 has chapter indexes.  The original Douay Rheims Challoner has Chapter summaries. The recent update to the CPDV includes chapter summaries. The AKJV update includes Chapter indexes (which is ready, but I haven't heard from Peter on how to proceed.)

Usually centred and often contain verse numbers that could be thought of as references to locate the text described following. They can flow onto more than one line in pages with two columns of text. In some editions these are allowed to be full page width rather than column width. The text size is never larger than verse text.
