<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Footnotes in section headers and
similar titles are allowed in USFM. I can't think of any reason
why they shouldn't be. I can think of some reasons why they should
be allowed, though. Haiola handles them as expected and intended
by the translators, except on conversion to OSIS then Sword
format. OSIS won't validate with those footnotes there, so I strip
them out. This is clearly not optimal, but it prevents a worse
problem of blocking publication of a whole Bible because of OSIS'
inability to cope with a footnote in a title. Perhaps there is a
workaround I overlooked that would be better, though.<br>
<br>
There are well over 1,000 Bibles that have had their source
converted to USFM and/or USX. (Those two formats are basically
interchangeable for anyone with Paratext.) The ETEN DBL has Bibles
all in USX. OSIS maintenance and support seems to have died, or at
least gone comatose, but it seems to me that it might be worth
considering either tweaking OSIS to support everything that USFM
supports, or replacing OSIS with another source format for Sword
use. Or at least supplementing it. (I know that old formats die
hard. GBF support is still in the Sword library, even though its
inventor stopped using it years ago.)<br>
<br>
Just some food for thought...<br>

A feature of USFM is that for some translations a canonical Psalm title may
contain a cross-reference.
A peculiarity may occur when the title is not [part of] verse 1, and when
the xref contains an origin marker.
Here's an example: (Welsh beibl.net)
\c 3
\s1 Gweddi yn y bore
\d Salm gan Dafydd pan oedd yn ffoi oddi wrth ei fab Absalom.\x - \xo 3:0
\xt 2 Samuel 15:13—17:22\x*
\q1
\v 1 O \nd ARGLWYDD\nd*, mae gen i gymaint o elynion!
\q2 Mae cymaint o bobl yn ymosod arna i.
\q1
Observe that the origin marker refers to verse 0 of the Psalm. (\xo 3:0)
What's the preferred way to convert this to OSIS, and how would the result
be supported by SWORD ?
David
