IIRC, the apostrophe and hyphen were added to SWORD as part of book
name recognition as a result of those threads. I don't know if it
was since the last release.<br>
<br>
I didn't look at the implementation, but I think that when trying to
recognize a name it will keep going if the next byte matches a
prefix in a name. If so, it handles even more than that.<br>
<br>
But, I think there is a test case for SWORD to test Bible book
names. If so, it could be really easy to find out. Either way,
testing is better than speculating. :)<br>
<br>
JSword probably can handle an apostrophe but cannot handle a hyphen,
periods and non-leading numbers. Its recognizer needs to be updated.<br>

<p>The issue has been discussed at length in other threads in
recent time, leading to very vocal and differing opinions. I
don't pretend to remember the exact outcome for fear of
remembering it incorrectly. But three issue was not cut-and-dry.</p>
