Deut 22.22 has two cross references. The first one works, the second
one does not.
I've spent some time studying the verse content and also some other
verses containing <note type="crossReference">...</note>
It appears that the assumption is that crossReference (xref, for
short) notes only contain a list of <reference> elements. The web
tool takes each of these, gets the verse and presents it in a popup
div. All other text in the note is ignored.
However, this assumption is not valid. In the case of ESV, most xref
notes are surrounded by [ ... ] and contain a semi-colon separated
list of references. However some also contain additional text and
some contain only text.
In the case of the second note, it contains only text and no
<reference> elements.
There is another problem with the encoding of some xref notes, e.g.
Deut 22.5. A good number of them end with ]0x19. That is a closing
bracket followed by Unicode 0x19. This character is stripped out by
this front end. Not sure how other front-ends handle it.
I found a problem with the web tool using safari. It may just be my
newness to the Mac. I cannot figure out how to dismiss an xref popup
div.
