I don't think they work.
There was an earlier thread on internal linking in non-bible modules. And you are right, they do not work. We only support links to Bible verses. That thread outlined how we should handle it in the future. But I think the discussion was limited to OSIS modules. mod2imp should retain exactly what is in the module. mod2imp merely dumps the key followed by the raw text, in a form that can be used to recreate a module. When a module is created, it throws stuff away that is in between the keyed module entries. For the most part it does not modify the text that is stored in the module. > > A page which combines several items into one with links embedded is > done using > DisplayLevel >= 2 in the conf file.

That would be the quickest >> way to >> solve my problem. I have asked about this before, thinking that we should maintain the inputs we use for module creation. The response was that the module was sufficient. And in the case of copyrighted material for which Crosswire has been granted permission to distribute it as a module, we are not necessarily granted permission to distribute the original. The basic thought (that I was told) was that the owner of the source should be the place from which we get any modifications in the future. The problem is that some of those places no longer maintain the original and the originals may not exist anywhere else. Example, Bible Foundation (i.e. bf.org). We do have the "original" input for the KJV, but that is one that is created and maintained by Crosswire. > > I think Chris Little should have the sources. > > Troy has to approve the modules, please ask him directly about > submitting your > own modules to Crosswire. > > Joachim > -- > <>< Re: deemed > www.bibletime.info > > _______________________________________________ > sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org > http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel > Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
