Thanks! Really looking forward to seeing the output, but still broken on my side (Chrome browser). The form is rejects multi-reference input and seems to treat the whole line as one ref.

Fails with:

```

Matthew 5:31-32; Matthew 19:3-9; Mark 10:2-12; Luke 16:18; 1 Corinthians 7:10-16; 1 Corinthians 7:39; Romans 7:2-3

```

```

"Matthew 5:31–32", "Matthew 19:3–9", "Mark 10:2–12", "Luke 16:18", "1 Corinthians 7:10–16", "1 Corinthians 7:39", "Romans 7:2–3"

```

```

Matt 5:31-32, 19:3-9; Mk 10:2-12; Lk 16:18; 1 Cor 7:10-16, 7:39; Rom 7:2-3

```

```

Matt 5.31-32, 19.3-9; Mk 10.2-12; Lk 16.18; 1 Cor 7.10-16, 7.39; Rom 7.2-3

```

```

Matthew 5:31-32 Matthew 19:3-9 Mark 10:2-12 Luke 16:18 1 Corinthians 7:10-16 1 Corinthians 7:39 Romans 7:2-3

```

Maybe the validator isn't splitting the string on separators before parsing, or choke on leading numerals or spaces, or normalization to ascii?

Ah - it is only designed to do a report on one continuous passage at a time. It's not designed to handle multiple passages at the same time. I could make that clearer.

It's probably my desire as a expository preacher to only handle a passage in its immediate context when I can help it.

I see. I tend to research specific topics at a time.

But it still doesn't seem to work.

I tried `Matthew 19:3–9` and `"Matthew 19:3–9"` and still warns of invalid formatting.

Got it. Sorry about that. I don't use em and en dashes often. But the system accepts either now.

I will think about what would go into a topical studies engine.

Thinking about it, my "Synod" system (in progress - probably a week out given my work schedule) should easily be able to handle this kind of topical request with multiple verses and topical ideas together. The super-alpha version can be found at the bottom of the "Create Report" page.

Eventually, it will be a back and forth discussion between AIs batting a question around by a mixture of experts system with a summary report provided on theological questions. Topical would obviously be included in that.

I wanted to let you know I have incorporated a "Topical Report" engine. I'd love your feedback, as a topical user.
