BUG: in dtext ref parsing

I am explicitly using the JPS translation but the reference has to be converted to end in the NRSV 89:52 which is my default Bible. As this is a Jewish resource it should use Jewish citations ... and I shouldn't have to play with my Bible translation priorities to make it work.

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."

    I've created a case for a developer to look into this. I'm not sure if specifying a resource for dynamic text is intended/able to include the resource's verse map, but I agree it makes sense for it to.

    If dtext is using the mapping of your most highly prioritised Bible, then that's a bug. It really wouldn't do if resources would compile differently on different setups. I haven't tested this however, although I would think that what Logos is actually doing is using the generic Bible datatype, rather than anything more specific.

    You should be able to change this by using the following syntax:

    {{dtext ref=BibleBHS2:Psalms 73-89}}

    BibleBHS2 is the datatype/mapping for the Tanakh. As I said, I haven't tested it, but I think that's how it's supposed to work.
