There are several other early DD modules which are still based on ThML <b style="scrollbar-width: thin; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">scripRef </b>elements.

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.

<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
