      Description

      The Hebrew WLC module contains:
      1265 x-ketiv
      1277 x-qere

      These are both type attribute values for the element w.

      SWORD should be enhanced to display these appropriately.

      They are already suitably displayed by the XML server on website for the source text. http://www.tanach.us/Tanach.xml

      The fact that we ignore these attributes, and by default just display the wrapped text without making any distinction for it, is a serious deficiency for our WLC module.

      Worse than the absence of any distinction is that these Qere/Ketiv words are joined without any spaces to the preceding text.
