Exodus 1:1 kjv has a newline in the middle of it

go to http://bible-api.com/Exodus+1:1?translation=kjv and it has a random newline in the middle

I'd noticed that before; it comes from the source material which is in the file eng-kjv.osis.xml here: https://github.com/seven1m/open-bibles/

<verse osisID="Exod.1.1" sID="Exod.1.1.seID.01585" n="1" />Now these
<transChange type="added">are</transChange> the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.

I think it would be safe to strip newlines from the XML during parsing. I'll see about doing that.

Thanks for the bug report!

Thank you you might be able to just replace all whitespace with a space because john 3:16 kjv for example also starts with a margin

for now I'll just use text.strip.gsub("\n"," ") in my rails app

Extra examples:

  • Revelation 22:21
  • John 3:16
