<div dir="ltr"><div>If you know that you have a reference (e.g. if you're not looking for references within random blocks of text) then you can use something like our Python bindings to pass strings into it and ask our engine to generate the OSIS id. This is probably the best route to take as our Engine has rather sophisticated code to account for a large range of ways to describe a reference and convert it to and OSIS id.

What are you doing exactly? If you try to convert the ref to osisRef
Dominique wrote an awk script which works pretty good.<br>
