RefTagger

I've added Logos RefTagger to this blog. I have to say from a user standpoint it's pretty cool. It auto-links Bible references like John 3:16 or Gen 1:1-10. From a technical standpoint, it has some of the most impressive regular expressions I've ever seen. Once you drill into the regular expressions, it's not super hard to figure out what's going on, but at first glance they look like monsters. Kudos to whoever had the patience to work those out.

One thing I noticed is that the CSS for the tooltip has a rule:
#tooltipBody p {
display:inline;
}

which causes multi-lined verses to run together without a space between words, e.g. Prov. 1:2 or Isaiah 54:17. The "display:inline" should be removed or there should be a space between the <p> tags for each line in the verse.
