Thanks Peter,
Whatever view each of us may have about the KJV module, this thread is more
general.
Its about any modules that potentially may contain the inscription element.
Aside:
Small-caps already works for the divineName element in most front-ends.
Small-caps doesn't work for the hi element with type="small caps" for at least
one front-end (Eloquent).
Currently, this defaults to italics.
We should also bear in mind that altering a module before all front-ends have
implemented the proper rendering in a new release would reduce the quality of
the output.
i.e. A Proper Case inscription for ".... The Mother Of Harlots ...." might not
"cut the mustard" for some KJV readers.
Best regards,
David
