Notes on the project so far

The Greek text narrative portion of Chambers' reader is composed of 48 chapters broken up into "parts" of twelve chapters each. The GLTP dot format hierarchy used is Chapter.Paragraph.Line. Zero-values in dot notation indicate headings. Parts are not currently tracked in the files themselves but can be considered additional metadata. Chapter titles are included in the format of XX.00.00.
