orefs.py : define variables for the prefices for chapterless verse references (singular & plural)
As per previous discussion, chapterless verse references may be in the form:
- vmm for a single verse mm
- vvmm,nn-pp for a verse sequence (mm,nn) or range (nn-pp)
e.g. English
v28
vv7-11,16
Notes:
- These two prefices are locale dependent.
- They may include a period and/or a space before the verse number.
e.g. Polish
w. 28
ww. 7-11,16
I'm going to have to spend a lot of time thinking about this. I can foresee many problems trying to get this right.
It was quite a challenge to fix these using a bespoke TextPipe filter for the Polish UBG 2017 module preparation.
The Malagasy word for "verse" is "andininy" which is abbreviated to "and." in some footnotes that have a reference.
Example:
\f + \ft Izahao and. 14.\f*
which I improved to become:
\f + \ft Izahao \+xt and. 14\+xt*.\f*
leaving the abbreviation as part of the reference.
Abbreviations like these ought to be capable of being specified in the orefs config file.
