USFM markers for cross-references #1

Closed DavidHaslam closed 6 years ago

DavidHaslam commented 7 years ago

It would be useful to mark all the cross-references in the text using the proper USFM tags \x_...\x*

Then they would be amenable to being converted to links in Bible software.

Refer to the USFM User Reference for details.

This prompts the question,

Do we need to retain the parentheses that wrap the cross-references, once they have been properly marked?

IMHO, these parentheses should be removed.

DavidHaslam commented 6 years ago

I have just made and tested a bespoke TextPipe filter to mark the 2534 cross-references.

It was designed to avoid changes to parenthesised items other than an xref. There are 214 such items.

It will also fix a further type of malformed xref. See #2
