Bible Markup Pattern: A Proposal
(Also published at Godbit.)
What is the best way to mark up text from the Bible? I’ve been thinking about this question for more than a year, and in that time I have sought an answer, or at least a proposal.
If you’re impatient, here are the examples: Exodus 20, Psalm 23, Matthew 5, and Matthew 6:5-15.
Caveats
Please remember this article presents only a proposal for consideration. I am no theologian; nor am I a renowned expert on front-end code. Nor does every page of every site I’ve ever built have “best” markup, however I do make every effort to do so.

Seven Things To Do When IE7 Is Released
Internet Explorer Upgrade:
Someday soon, Microsoft is going to release Internet Explorer 7, their first major browser upgrade in five years. Those in the internet business have anticipated it for a while now, discussing and scrutinizing it. If you don’t follow the latest internet events, you may wonder what I’m talking about.
Background:
Internet Explorer (IE) is the browser with the most market share, about 94% in mid-2004 and slowly descending to about 80% or less today. More information on browser trends and statistics is available. IE’s strong showing is mainly due to default installation on every new Windows PC, and being the default browser for the AOL service.
”...the IE rendering engine runs pretty rough in spots”
However, web designers and developers have long objected that it displays web pages incorrectly, in conflict with the W3C specifications. In other words, the IE rendering engine runs pretty rough in spots, so bad that there’s almost a cottage industry producing and documenting techniques for fixing or “patching” these problems.
