[sword-devel] Module release: FreCrampon

[David Haslam]

A Word Frequency analysis on the FreCrampon text has uncovered 21 instances of words where the ordinary ASCII apostrophe was used to mark elision, instead of the proper character U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK used in all the other places.

> Word Count
> C'était 1
> Qu'elle 2
> d'Ochran 1
> d'Og 1
> d'alentour 1
> d'après 2
> d'avoir 1
> d'insolence 1
> d'où 1
> d'épouvante 1
> j'en 1
> jusqu'à 1
> l'impie 1
> n'agissez 1
> n'avaient 1
> n'avez-vous 1
> n'est 1
> n'ont 1
> n'y 1
> qu'on 2
> s'y 1

These should each be changed to use U+2019.

The issue should be fixed upstream in https://fr.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible_Crampon_1923

FIO. The attached 7-Zip file contains the Word Frequency analysis.
NB. References were first stripped out, and both types of NBSP were replaced by an ordinary space.

Best regards,

David
