BUG: automatic reference linking issues

The automatic reference linking needs to be updated a bit:

  • it misses 1 Enoch entirely
  • it fails to recognize the full title of pseudepigrapha and erroneously links partial titles to Bible books. It's a real nuisance to remember to keep one's eye out for them and remove the links.

    Thanks for the report. I'll write up a case for our team to investigate.

    After some further investigation it appears these are considered Pseudepigrapha references, not bible references which we currently dont autotag those data type references. 

    However, feel free to create a feedback post here for our team

    1 Enoch is both Bible and Pseudepigrapha depending on the context ever since Logos included an LXX including it. BUT you totally missed the point on the other three references - I know they are pseudepigrapha that I wouldn't expect to be tagged SO WHY THE BLANK are portions of their reference tagged erroneously as Bible references? I don't really think you want me to create a feedback post for getting the tagging reliable.

    Detecting references is hard, especially when we have to do it in multiple languages. As a result, we use the same detection algorithm regardless of your prioritized Bible. I think that's based on our standard Bible datatype rather than any of the LXX datatypes.

    We should adjust the algorithm to remove these as false positives. I'll report that as a bug. However, doing that across multiple languages for all the potential OT and NT pseudepigrapha whose names overlap with biblical books we already detect will be a fair bit of work, so I don't know when we'll get to it.
