Yeah, I realise that. I suppose I should clarify I am looking specifically for a way to markup the references, as opposed to the full on verses / passages. But just as a side note there are actually several projects who are overcoming the issues you talk about (or who've overcome them) [1] example: [2] > That said, there is a citation format in the works[2], this > will allow for the ability to cite page, etc. Bible chapter, > paragraph, verse were not in the original idea, but could > make there way in depending on other formats. Okay, I will take a look at the cite pages. > Have you looked into how other formats, Dublin Core, etc. handle this? > or can/do they? Had a (very) brief look and couldn't find anything, that site's a maze! Isn't most DC metadata (when embedded in an HTML document) included in the META tags? I have to admit I know very little about it but it could be worth some further research. - simon [1] - http://www.bibletechnologies.net/ [2] - http://www.bibletechnologies.net/201.dsp#body.1_div.4 ps: Is it just me that's had to create refences as above by hand? Or do some people have clever email clients which do it for them? _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
