[sword-devel] Multiple word notes?

[Arnaud Vié]

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
