Thanks for catching this. I'd made an error in a script that failed to 
place headings prior to the verse marker in cases other than basic 
section headings.

This is marked correctly. See earlier discussion of poetry layout.

Well... this is not an error in any sense, but I've increased the 
specificity my translation of their <quote> tags. <footnoteQuote> is 
properly converted to <catchWord>, since that's what they are. How 
<catchWord> is translated to rendering markup is an engine matter, but 
italics are fine and quite commonplace. (No change here from 1.0 to 1.1)

The <quote> markers can be broken down into 5 categories. Previously I'd 
translated them to <q>, which gets the meaning of the tag across, even 
if it's not the best translation in all cases. In the NT, they're used 
for OT citations and now marked with <seg type="otPassage">. In the OT, 
there are 3 uses: inscriptions (marked with <inscription>), I AMs 
(marked with <divineName>), a foreign word (marked with <foreign>), and 
everything else (left as <q>, which follows practice found in printed 
texts).


I'm holding off, briefly, on an announcement, until I can get one or two 
other Swedish works imported.
