Bibleref Designators

Standard Designators

Processors MUST recognize the following standard names and abbreviations for Bible books and versions, both in content enclosed by an element with the bibleref class attribute, and in the title attribute.

These designators are taken from the OSIS 2.1.1 standard, and largely follow the SBL Manual of Style.
