Do we need a locator for "surah"? #343

Open denismaier opened 4 years ago

denismaier commented 4 years ago

Currently, divisions in the Quran can only be described using generic locators, which I'm not sure is appropriate. Should we address such cases?

bdarcus commented 4 years ago

Wikipedia describes it as a chapter.

Only question is how to get the output correct; right?

And the term is only used for the Quran?

denismaier commented 4 years ago

I think so.

I don't see any real downside to having many possible locator terms. Beyond the term "Surah", do citations to Surahs have other standardized formats (e.g., Biblical verses are always cited ala Psalms 18:24)? For Biblical verses, I would expect those would be cited as "string" locators.
