[sword-devel] Fwd: [modules] New Beta Module: StatResGNT

[David Haslam]

Thanks, Alan, for the explanation.

This then prompts a suggestion as to the potential use of the OSIS abbr element for each instance. This would require that each type of nomina sacrum would then need to be retained as the abbreviation, and then expanded using the XML attribute, e.g.

<abbr expansion="Θεοῦ">ΘΥ</abbr>

Please refer to the OSIS User Manualsection 13.2

NB. I don't know whether the SWORD engine has any code to display the expansions!
The coders might enlighten us on this point. I have therefore cc: to sword-devel in this reply.

Best regards,

David
