Re: [sword-devel] Bible book introductions

I was simply suggesting a flag to indicate this on a whole module-level, one that wouldn't require reading any of the module contents at all. In other words, a flag of "true", or the presence of an entry in the module configuration would indicate that somewhere in the module there is an introductio

Re: [sword-devel] Bible book introductions

I think (& I hope?) what is being proposed is a method in Sword that will check any book of the Bible to see if it is empty or not. This will ultimately be very fast, as it may need to test a large number of verses? This same method should be able to be adapted to live-test introductions for bo

Re: [sword-devel] Bible book introductions

For clarity, my use case is as follows. I have a menu displaying options such as Verse numbers, Headings, Verses on New Lines, Red letters. I'd like to add an option called Introductions (and perhaps one called Colophon). The options in this menu are grayed out when the underlying module doesn't

Re: [sword-devel] Bible translations for languages in which a punctuation mark is used as a letter of the alphabet?

Not so easy to investigate it in SWORD /before/ such a module is created. It was more of an anticipatory enquiry, to ascertain what is already known of the subject among other CrossWire developers. Knowing what potential pitfalls might ensue is to be better prepared. Background = preliminary dis

Re: [sword-devel] Bible book introductions

One could apply your reasoning for every option we have in the Conf file so far. Headings, notes, cross references, strongs, morphology... A verse or chapter is not guaranteed to contain any of these. You still need to check for non empty cross references for example if your frontend is displaying

[sword-devel] Bible translations for languages in which a punctuation mark is used as a letter of the alphabet?

Some alphabets make use of a character that in other languages is normally classed as a punctuation mark. Examples are many, but here's a verse in *Tongan*, a language where the *ʻ (fakauʻa)* occurs very frequently as the character for a glottal stop. This should be written with the modifier lette

Re: [sword-devel] Bible/Commentary headings

Maybe swapping the order of chapter and verse around may help? The code I remember does some special handling of zeroes, but I can't check it at the moment. e.g. vkey->Verse(0); vkey->Chapter(0); to vkey->Chapter(0); vkey->Verse(0); God Bless, Ben --
