BUG: Reference in PB

Logos accepts Psalm or Psalms as the book name when referring to the Psalms of David. However, it only recognizes the plural Psalms when referring to the Psalms of Solomon. It should accept either the singular or the plural.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    It also would be great if for the Psalms of David if Logos would recognize the dual LXX/Hebrew numbering, eg. Ps 14(15).

    You can specify that  e.g. [[Psalm 14 >> logosres:lhb;ref=BibleBHS.Ps14]]

                                        [[Psalm 14 LXX >> logosres:logoslxx;ref=BibleLXX.Ps13]]

    If you wanted a less specific reference it would be [[Psalm 14 >> Ps 14]]  ---> default bible datatype; OR

                                                                                [[Psalm 14 LXX >> bible+lxx.19.13]]    ----> LXX bibles

    See http://wiki.logos.com/Logos_Bible_Book_Names for 19=Psalm etc. and http://wiki.logos.com/Bible_Datatypes for bible+lxx etc.

    Dave, I already knew how to do that.  But it is common in texts editions of texts where the original author cited the psalm in LXX numbering, to give that number, and then parenthetically to give the Hebrew.  It would be nice if the PB compiler would recognize this format and handle it automatically.

    Also on my wish list would be some way to switch the compiler on how to understand commas.  Sometimes Rom. 1, 2 would mean the 1st and 2nd chapters of Romans.  This is the way the compiler works now.  But sometimes it would mean verse 2 of chapter 1 of Romans...  This would require some sort of compiler switch, I think...

    That would be difficult for a compiler to recognise for there is often a remark clarifying that e.g. Ps 14 (15 in Hb)  or  Ps 13:2 BHS (13:1 Eng).
