USX Documentation

Welcome

This is the reference documentation for Unified Scripture XML (USX).

USX is an XML format used for encoding the digital text for scripture translations. USX follows the standard syntax for XML documents. The structure, elements, and attributes are derived significantly from the close association USX has with USFM (Unified Standard Format Markers), an older alternative markup scheme for scripture still in widespread use. The largest collection of USX encoded scripture is currently found within the Digital Bible Library.
