Alright, that clears up that bit about the <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><divineName></span> element. When I saw <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><divineName type='x-yhwh'></span> on p. 65, I thought that <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><divineName></span> might encompass other types as well.<br>
<br>What about this solution:<br><br><blockquote style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">. . . <name type="nonhuman" regular="God">Father</name> and of the <name
type="person" regular="Jesus Christ">Son</name> and of the <name
type="nonhuman">Holy Spirit</name> . . .<br></blockquote><br>Note that the attribute <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">regular="Holy Spirit"</span> would have been redundant on the last name. <br>
<br>Also, are we correct in leaving the definite article outside the element in this case?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 12:37 PM, DM Smith <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dmsmith@crosswire.org">dmsmith@crosswire.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Here's a question not entirely clear in the current OSIS manual that has been bothering me:<br>
<br>
Given the use of <name type="person">, <name type="nonhuman">, and <divineName> elements, how should one mark up Matthew 28:16?<br>
<br>
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in<br>
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit . . .<br>
<br>
</blockquote></div>
As Peter pointed out <divineName> is used for the Hebrew words YHWH, which is translated into Lord, God and Yah. Not all Lord or God are such a translation. The SWORD engine will try to render the content as small caps.<br>
<br>
The name element is used to identify names. There are a couple of predefined values, but none seem to be appropriate for God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit (the other divine names) or for the demonic.<br>
<br>
IMHO, theologically, a single value classification is not quite appropriate for God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit.<br>
<br>
Where the choice of a predefined type is not deemed appropriate, one can do one of two things:<br>
1) Use no type.<br>
<name>Father</name> and of the <name>Son</name> and of the <name>Holy Spirit</name><br>
<br>
2) Roll your own type:<br>
<name type="x-God">Father</name> and of the <name type="x-Jesus">Son</name> and of the <name type="x-Spirit">Holy Spirit</name><br>
<br>
Hope this helps some.<br>
