All three are outputting the same verse from the same module. HTML and
XHTML are outputting <div eID="gen11" type="paragraph"/> which is what
the module has in its rawest form. HTMLHREF outputs <!/P> which is not
valid anything. There are other, odd, differences between the three
but none of those are germane to this discussion, it would seem to me.
HTML & XHTML are obviously problematic because eID isn't part of
(X)HTML, but it's arguable that there is no problem with the HTMLHREF
output. HTMLHREF is a proprietary format that was developed for
GnomeSword, so it has extra stuff in it for subsequent processing within
that application. It's HTML-ish, but not standard HTML, and the degree
to which it violates HTML specs is really a matter to be decided by the
Xiphos developers & anyone else using this format.
All of the extra stuff in the HTML output is inserted by Diatheke after
the render filters have been applied to indicate the character encoding
& add linebreaks. No one has bothered to add similar markup for the
other HTML filters, and I would not necessarily argue that anything
should be added.
