Strong's numbers examples should 4 digits rather than 5 #67

Closed DavidHaslam closed 6 years ago

The documentation for USFM 3.0 includes:

strong: | Strong’s ID in the form H##### (Hebrew) or G##### (Greek)

Q. Why 5 digits rather than 4 ?

cf. Strong's concordance goes up to H8674 and G5624.

PS. Is there an implicit but unstated requirement that the lower values should be zero-padded to the required number of digits?

@DavidHaslam At this point, I cannot recall any reason or argument for there being 5 digits. I have updated the documentation to reduce / remove the confusion.

@klassenjm

Thanks for the speedy response and helpful commit.

Any thoughts about zero-padding?

There's a further location with an example that needs fixing to 4 digits:

\w gracious|strong="H01234,G05485"\w*
