More abbreviations
I'm so glad to find someone is maintaining this package again! Thank you! I have a number of ideas and I've created my own work-arounds the past few years and wanted to share some in case they are useful.
Here is one that I think is helpful: I added a bunch of abbreviation possibilities and re-organized it by book instead of by abbreviation type. Also note that for some reason, First and Second John had alternate abbreviations defined but for some reason Third John did not. I added those too.
