Representation of consecutive verses in references #62

Closed destatez closed 7 years ago

destatez commented 7 years ago

For 2 consecutive verses in a reference, the scan process has a representation that is a “valid” representation of the XML, but varies from the A-S PDF, by replacing the comma between the two verses with a dash. There are two other ways to specify this which are both “valid” reference syntax, as well as “identical” representation of the A-S PDF. Below is the scan presentation and then both of the other representations of John 13: 26 & 27. (The markdown language of this issue buffer would not let me show the underscoring in the visualization, where the entire string shown would be underlined, except that for representation 2 the space after the comma would NOT be underlined.)

I have been converting most instances to representation 2. I am not sure whether others have left the scan representation AS-IS, or whether they have chosen representation 1 or 2. If it is decided that the scan representation should be corrected, at the end of “editing” we can search for instances of it, and correct those to match either representation 1 or 2. The choice of either of those is another decision that needs to be made.

Scan Representation: XML: <ref osisRef="John.13.26-John.13.27">Jo 13:26-27</ref> Visualization: Jo 13:26-27

Representation 1: XML: <ref osisRef="John.13.26-John.13.27">Jo 13:26, 27</ref> Visualization: Jo 13:26, 27

Representation 2: XML: <ref osisRef="John.13.26">Jo 13:26</ref>, <ref osisRef="John.13.27">27</ref> Visualization: Jo 13:26, 27

No precise format for these consecutive verses was made. The xml currently has a mix. I do not believe that this is a real issue moving to Stage 2
