</div><div><div dir="ltr">There is a long-standing misunderstood THML encoding of such references in some old modules, including this one. Today I think thanks to the phasing out of ThML in CrossWire repos itself the issue is concentrated on Xiphos. Basically the behaviour you describe as working is undefined and not intentional. The module should get updated. </div>

<br>
<br>Aside: The KJV module was already installed, but it needed to be updated.
<br>
<br>Afterwards, I installed the Daily Devotional module MCheyne from the Xiphos repo.
<br>
<br>M'Cheyne's Bible Reading Calendar
<br>
<br>After selecting MCheyne, and seeing the four readings for Today, I discovered that clicking any of the links took me to Revelation 1:1 rather than the actual passage for today!
<br>
<br>Family Reading: Genesis 15
<br>Family Reading: Matthew 14
<br>Secret Reading: Nehemiah 4
<br>Secret Reading: Acts 14
<br>
<br>The links in mcheyne.dat are very simple! e.g.
<br><scripRef>Genesis 15</scripRef>
<br>
<br>i.e. They don't use OSIS XML constructs!
<br>
<br>cf. These MCheyne module links always work fine in PocketSword !
<br>The only minor issue is when the passage is a [chapter] range.
<br>In that case, the passage selector ends up indicating the last chapter as having been selected, even though the screen displays the first chapter in the range.
<br>
<br>NB. Within Bishop, links in the Daily devotional module SME work properly.
<br>
<br>btw. Clicking such a link from MCheyne in Xiphos for Windows gives an error too!
<br> BUG! Xiphos is about to crash due to a STRDUP error.
<br>However, there's no means to select the error popup text in Xiphos.
<br>I have no recollection of testing this Daily Devotional module in Xiphos before today. It's conceivable that the issue has always been there. I mention this merely for comparison now that I'm reporting what happens in Bishop.
<br>
<br>Can Bishop be improved such that these simple <scripRef>...</scripRef> links will work correctly?
<br>
<br>Best regards,
<br>
<br>David
