bible_notes.md

not about like, the content within. the words. but the layout of this specific collection.

Heading

it starts with a list of the.. editions? and their books.

You get an edition title on a line, and then the lines immediately following are the books therein.

EX:

The Old Testament *(blah blah)*
The First Book...
The Second Book...

The New Testament *(blah blah)*
The Gospel *(the first one..)*
The Gospel *(the second one...)*

To mark the end of the heading you get many newlines (two or more). It seems that multiple blank lines mark a State Change (and we'll call it thus, Genny 1:1)

NOTE: the state change may always be four blank lines. i will test this.

Editions

The edition title, state change, book title, state change.

NOTE: that second state change seems to consistently consist of but just two blank lines.

Books

As noted above, we get the book title and then two blank lines.

Following the blank lines we get a series of text blocks separated by a blank line. Most verses start at the beginning of a text block and are fully contained, but! It seems that this is not consistent.

They might:

• Start the text block and extend the entire block.
• Start the text block, but another verse (or more!) start within the same block.¹
• Start the text block, but extend into another text block.

Footnotes

1. I am not well bible-studied enough to know if this is the same verse containing the other, or if the verse starts when the next begins. ↩
