Bible versions with extra spaces after verse #'s
Status: Beta

I've noticed that many of the Bible resource files have
extra spaces after the verse numbers. Each Bible book
in a specific resource file appears uniform for that
book (e.g. all of Genesis might have two spaces; all of
Lev might have 1 space). Which books have extra
spaces varies from resource file to resource file and
does not appear dependent on who compiled the file.
Many of the Ps versions have 3 spaces!
I'd think the correction for this might be tedious, but
easy, entailing editing the raw file with a search &
replace. But, the Converter program might need to be
modified to automatically cull out such instances.

Some versions might have different numbers of spaces to
mark, e.g., indentation. It's too easy to fix by running the
source file through a quick sed script for it to be worth doing
in bibleconverter, perhaps. For instance, if it's an Online
Bible export file, one can just do:
sed "/^([0-9]+) +/\1 /" < infile > outfile
(assuming one has sed installed, as everybody who works
with text format changing should :-) ).
