I’m working in a project which has many footnotes which refer to passages in other books, often quoting part of the passage.

Is it possible to link those two passages together, or some sort of check to make sure they’re the same? The potential issue I’m trying to avoid is if the original text gets corrected but the footnote quotation never gets updated. Or, for that matter, if someone were to correct the footnote quotation without fixing the original passage.

The Quoted Text Check does verification of quotations inside of footnotes. The quotations do have to be marked using the \fk, \fq, \xk, or \xq markers.

I believe this only checks that the quoted text matches the text of the origin verse. If someone is quoting text from another verse I don’t believe there is currently a way to check that.
