Hi there .........

Some of us are doing a feasibility study on the NET bible from http://www.bible.org/ with a view to offering a Sword module. The NET bible comes with a massive set of footnotes. In the present incarnation of Sword (certainly in the Windows front end) the use of such extensive footnoting would make the version difficult to follow. There are often many footnotes in a single verse.

One solution, suggested I think by Chris Little was to make the front end capable of displaying footnotes in a separate window from the bible text. An alternative is to make the notes into a commentary module, with the footnotes in the text neing represented by footnote numbers. If this second alternative were considered, is it possible to link these footnote numbers to the commentary window? What I'm looking for is linking that looks up tags in commentaries like scripture references embedded in a commentary - as an example - <scripRef>John 1:3</scripRef> in a ThML tagged commentary.

Do we have provision for this in the filters?

God bless,

Barry
