Revision History:

• v1.15, 1999-01-24, modified for Voyager -- lower case tags, XML
• v1.14, 1999-01-12, adds colored text, smart quotes, a scripRef in a footnote, and markup in the header -- here!
• v1.13, 1998-12-10, modified to use DC in header instead of xmarc.
• v1.12, 1998-12-05, modified to use xmarc in header instead of many of those old header elements. Looks better, I think.
• v1.0, 1998-08-03, Initial ThML version
• Original, 1994, Initial Word version

Status: Preliminary released version has been proofread and is pretty clean. Names and scripture references have been marked, but only token index entries added. Uses a preliminary version of ThML; subject to change.
