The person proposing this change is writing LaTeX functions that a user can use to embed scripture quotations directly into the generated files. He is currently using post-processing regular expressions but these options would eliminate the possibility of problems with the regular expressions. Since Diatheke already has quite a few options for changing its formats and filters, stripping the extra markers seems reasonable for applications like this one where having a C or C++ file do the exporting might not be feasible. I don't know the limits of LaTeX and whether a custom exporter program is feasible, but is there any particular reason to not want changes to Diatheke? --Greg
