Subject: [sword-devel] Multiple word notes?
Message-ID: <FA8A87A2-F81A-4F36-AC44-CB155E3CFCED@cepl.eu>

Hello,

when looking at https://www.stepbible.org/?q=reference=Gen.4&options=HNVUG it seems to me that some `<note>` elements are covering multiple words? Is it possible? From reading https://wiki.crosswire.org/OSIS_Tutorial#Notes it seems to me that one is just adjacent to one word and cannot cover multiple of them. Is it so?

See in https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=CzeCSP at reference=Gen.4&options=HNVUG (verse 3) I have these notes where multiple words anchor is marked by `[` and `]` characters. Is there a way how to convert these characters into a proper OSIS markup?

Blessings,

Mat?j

Hi Matej,

I might be wrong, but I don't think the OSIS spec provides a specific way
to indicate the "annotated expression" of a note in the source text
directly.

The usual way of indicating the source expression a note applies to is
using the "catchWord" tag within the content of the note.
(Despite its name, catchWord can contain more than just a word. It's rather
a catchphrase).
But it won't generate additional markup in the source text.

Regards,

Arnaud
