BUG: RefTagger incorrectly handles "ff" following a verse reference

This showed up in a posting in the general forum.

This is incorrect "ff" means some indeterminate number of verses. It would seem to be better to display "Numbers 30:1ff" in the header instead of making it some definite number like "11". Displaying the text of two verses with ... at the end is good.

When there is just the single "f" then RefTagger behave correctly.

I'm not sure I agree with youtr proposed solution. While ff. is some indeterminate number, it surely means more than one (otherwise the author would've written a single f.) and thus your proposed solution of displaying only the result of single f plus "..." can't be.

Often, the ff. citation is meant to go to pericope end. To display ten verses is at least better than to display only one when it is clear that at least two verses were intended. If five was bettewr than ten? Dunno.

True. I really do not care how many verses are displayed.

My main point is that the heading should have the "ff" in it instead of some explicit terminal verse number.

I think making RefTagger find the end of the pericope in what ever the version is displayed is asking a little too much of a fast pop-up tool.
