What is this section for? — incorrect reference

The algorithm that auto generated scripture references made the assumption that if the text reads “v5”, that would be converted to the current book and current chapter and v5.  This algorithm for scripture references was correct 98% of the time.   Here is an example of a note attached to Gen 38:6 for the WBT released on 19-Aug-2021. (The third indented paragraph)

†Scholars are not agreed as to whether the brother of a childless deceased man was originally required to marry the widow or whether he was merely required to seek to produce an heir. His obligation was later codified in #De 25:5-10, where #Ge 38:5 does explicitly mention marriage.

On first reading, this looks alright, but careful  inspection shows that Gen 38:5 has no thought of marriage.  In comparing with the book, the #Gen 38:5 should be just “v5” … so in the new release, this will be changed to...

His obligation was later codified in #De 25:5-10, where #De 25:5 does explicitly mention marriage.

This is one type of error to report here.  Apologies to those who have wasted time in your studies.  With your help, we'll improve this over successive versions of WBT.
