Another small note on DisplayLevel, which was apparently defined in 2002 on the mailing list, but never really documented:
An implementation of DisplayLevel should count up from the finest grained level of the current key. This wasn't quite clear from Troy's definition, since, whether you count from the top (book + chapter) or bottom (verse + chapter), it's two levels. If you request the key /book/chapter/section/paragraph/verse from a book (assuming it's a valid reference) and DisplayLevel=2, then all descendants of /book/chapter/section/paragraph should be printed (including those that may be deeper than /book/chapter/section/paragraph/verse in the tree). This was specifically defined for books like Josephus where the depth of the finest grain of text varies from book to book. Interestingly, I think this provides nice behavior for references into that oddly versified Croatian Bible with PrAzar embedded in Dan 3, assuming the module is marked up as I had described (with PrAzar at the same level as a Dan 3 verse, and all of its verses one level deeper). With DisplayLevel=2, a request for any verse in Dan 3 should result in the printing of Dan 3 & the embedded PrAzar. On the other hand, a request for any verse in PrAzar should only result in the printing of all of PrAzar (since it has only one chapter). --Chris Troy A.
