Is it true that osis2mod ignores the attribute *n* in verse milestones? e.g. In the following snippet, pasted from the wiki:
<verse sID="Gen.1.1" osisID="Gen.1.1" n="1"/>In the beginning...<verse eID="Gen.1.1"/> The attribute n="1" is what I refer to. More to the point, when the text is for linked verses, we might have for example: <verse sID="Jer.41.17-Jer.41.18" n="17-18" osisID="Jer.41.17 Jer.41.18"/>Asinain Babilon siangpahrang in Judah ram uktu ah a tuahmiGedaliah kha Ishmael in a thah ruangah Babilon mi ṭihnak an thinlung sungah a khat. Curuangah Babilon mi ṭih ah Izipt ram ah an tlan. Lamzin ah Bethlehem khua kiangah Khimham ah an cawl.<verse eID='Jer.41.17-Jer.41.18'/> Observe here that the n attribute is the verse range (in this case "17-18"). Likewise, pasted from the OSIS reference manual example: <verse sID="Esth.1.1-Esth.1.2" osisID="Esth.1.1 Esth.1.2" n="1-2"/> King Xerxes of Persia lived in his capital city of Susa and ruled one hundred twenty-seven provinces from India to Ethiopia. <verse eID="Esth.1.1-Esth.1.2"/> which has a proper explanation on page 46, viz. The final attribute you see is the n attribute. This is most commonly used to record some numbering that was present in an original text that may or may not have any relationship to the structure being encoded. In other words, the CEV translations inserted "1-2" here and OSIS provides a mechanism to record the fact of "1-2" occuring here. David PS. It's noticeable that usfm2osis.pl does not even generate this attribute. -- View this message in context: http://sword-dev.350566.n4.nabble.com/OSIS-milestones-and-the-attribute-n-tp4034128p4034128.html Sent from the SWORD Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
