Marking proper names? #102

Open DavidHaslam opened 7 years ago

DavidHaslam commented 7 years ago

Unlike English and other languages based on the Roman script, the Gurmukhi script doesn't have the ability to distinguish proper names by capitalising the first letter.

USFM 2.4 has a character level marker for proper names: **\pn_...\pn***

USFM 3.0 extends the idea by having for geographic proper names: **\png_...\png***

A long term goal of the project might be to mark all the proper names in the whole Punjabi Bible using these tags.
