USFM-descriptions

A tab delimited text file containing a descriptions lookup table for all USFM tags.

I developed this as an external replacement file for use in a bespoke TextPipe filter to analyse USFM tag statistics.

Column 1 contains the SFM tags each wrapped inside \Q ... \E for use with PCRE matching.

Column 2 contains the description of each SFM tag, distilled from the Unified Standard Format Markers User Reference.

For USFM see http://paratext.org/usfm

For PCRE see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl_Compatible_Regular_Expressions

It currently matches USFM 3.0rc1

TextPipe Standard is available from http://www.datamystic.com/textpipe/standard.html

I've been using TextPipe since 2001. A copy of my bespoke filters may be requested by email.
