Reporting and planning page for minor text and markup issues to improve the KJV module. This is a continuation of the work done by DM Smith in Project KJV2006.

Detection method
The issues reported here by David Haslam were detected by a detailed comparison with the text extracted from the independently created KJV1769 e-Sword module provided by Art Dunham, as once hosted on the Spanish Reina-Valera-Gomez website and downloaded before that site was redesigned. That e-Sword module was not completely without minor errors, but the comparison proved fruitful in identifying some minor issues with both works.
Text and markup issues
Translators' added words currently not displayed as italics
Due to the use of alternative transChange markup
I found 17 instances where <seg subType="x-added" type="x-transChange">...</seg> was used to mark added words. The SWORD engine does not assign italics for words marked like this.
Simple errors
Translators' added words that incorrectly include a punctuation mark
I found 20 instances where the transChange markers for an added word also included the punctuation mark at the end of the sentence. Admittedly, displaying a full-stop or a comma in italics is of minor cosmetic significance, yet nonetheless this is structurally incorrect.
