In your "broken" example, the patah below the het is being moved to the
right rather than staying under the middle of the het? But the shift to the
right is the correct behavior for furtive patah and should be expected.

While testing the module, I would copy the .mkiv and .lua files to my

If there is some other preferred way to do this,
I've avoided forcing capitalization in too many places in the SBL rendering
because there are often language-specific (or, within English, even
dialect-specific) differences regarding what should be capitalized. I think
I already enforce capitalization of the first word, though:

This actually seems to be rooted in a more general problem with the

A reasonable solution for the time being would be to check if the
righttext argument is empty, and add a final period in the footnote only if
it is not (with the assumption being that the user would provide
punctuation in any righttext for footnote/endnote citations). I've pushed

Additionally, if you want to cite page numbers, the key to use in
ConTeXt-SBL is "loctext". (I was not aware of an "extra" key when I was
developing the module.) So, you should be able to make the ConTeXt-style

I'm not sure if this thread got lost back when I sent it, but I just wanted
