Note

Apparatus entries of printed critical editions are densely packed with information. One key part is the list of witnesses supporting a specific reading. The witnesses are usually represented by sigla consisting of one character, an abbreviation, or a number. It can be very helpful to distinguish witness lists from other footnote text, which can make it simpler to introduce checking tools for these lists, and to create linking and reader helps in digital representations.

Cross Reference <char> @style Types¶

xo¶

@style: xo
Use: Cross reference origin reference.
This is the chapter and verse(s) that target (@style=”xt”) reference(s) are being provided for.
Valid In: Any Cross Reference <char>

Text and Formatting Sample - Matthew 2.23 (GNT)

<note caller="-" style="x">
  <char style="xo">2.23: </char>

</note>

xop¶

@style: xop
Added: 3.0
Use: Published cross reference origin text.
In some texts, the content intended to be published in the position of the cross reference origin text xo does not follow the typical <chapter><separator><verse> pattern. An origin reference following this pattern is required for validation of the cross reference location. <char @style="xop">...</char> can be used in order to supply the content intended for publishing, similar to the use of chapter@pubnumber and verse@pubnumber.
Valid In: Any Cross Reference <char>

Text and Formatting Sample - Jonah 1.1-5 (Bulgarian Orthodox Bible)

<note caller="-" style="x">
        <char style="xo">1:1 </char>
        <char style="xop">Гл 1. (1) </char>
        <char style="xt">4 Царств. 14:25.</char>

<note caller="-" style="x">
        <char style="xo">1:2 </char>
        <char style="xop">(2) </char>
        <char style="xt">Бит. 10:11. Иона 3:3.</char>

<note caller="-" style="x">

        <char style="xop">(4) </char>

<note caller="-" style="x">
        <char style="xo">1:5 </char>
        <char style="xop">(5) </char>
        <char style="xt">4 Царств. 17:29.</char>
</note>

xt¶

@style: xt
Use: Cross reference target reference(s).
The list of target scripture passages being suggested as references for comparison/review with respect to the text (or concept) of the origin reference.
A list of book name abbreviations and chapter + verse references, separated by semicolons or other book list separator character.
Updated: 3.0 (attributes)
Valid In: Any Cross Reference <char>

Attributes

An additional link-href attribute for <char> can be used in this context, followiung the definitions for linking attributes.

@link-href: Citation form for the term in the glossary
link-href: Unambiguously identifies the scripture target reference using a standard scripture reference format. (default)
Book names must be one of bookCode. Chapter verse separator is always a colon :. A string of pattern: [A-Z1-4]{3} ?[a-z0-9\-,:]*

In some scenarios a target reference is written in a format which cannot be accurately parsed and identified. Providing the link-href attribute allows greater flexibility in the use of char@style xt.

In this context, link-href should only target scripture references for the current text (i.e. references to other project texts or non-scripture URIs are not allowed)

Text Sample - Genesis 2 (Russian Synodal, Protestant Version, extending the sample for para@style cd - chapter description)

<chapter number="2" style="c" sid="GEN 2" />
<para style="cd"><char style="xt" link-href="GEN 2:1">1</char> Бог благословляет седьмой
  день; <char style="xt" link-href="GEN 2:8">8</char> человек в раю Едемском; четыре реки;
  дерево познания добра и зла. <char style="xt" link-href="GEN 2:18">18</char> Человек дает
  названия животным. <char style="xt" link-href="GEN 2:21">21</char> Создание женщины.
<para style="p">
  <verse number="1" style="v" sid="GEN 2:1" />Так совершены небо и земля и все воинство их.
  <verse eid="GEN 2:1" />
</para>
<para style="p">
  <verse number="2" style="v" sid="GEN 2:2" />И совершил Бог к седьмому дню дела Свои, которые
  Он делал, и почил в день седьмой от всех дел Своих, которые делал.<verse eid="GEN 2:2" />
</para>

A number (7) alone marked with <char style="xt">7</char> is ambiguous, since it could refer to chapter 7 or verse 7 (in Paratext, a number alone is interpreted as a chapter reference). Extending char@style xt with the link-ref attribute makes it possible to express the target reference unambiguously.

<char style="xt" link-href="MAT 6:7">7</char>
<char style="xt" link-href="MAT 6:7">verse 7</char>
<char style="xt" link-href="MAT 6:7">v7</char>
