I have a correction to
make. Gnomesword 2.4 does display the introductions, but like BibleTime
it doesn't support the outline as a list.

Just let me know that you want it, and I will send it. The module is in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] inbox waiting for action, but there are a number of problems with it that I haven't been able to solve. Actually, aside from the book introductions, GS handles the module the best out of all the front-ends. >> Third, the way Sword handles commentaries right now is fine if you're >> looking at a single verse and the commentary is dealing with a single >> verse, but often commentaries give comments on the structure or >> theology of a section or comment on a range of verses in a single >> paragraph or section.

What I was getting at is a combination of content unconnected to a verse or range of verses (such as introductory matter in a commentary), content connected to a range of verses, and content connected to a single verse all in one work. This kind of content should be preserved as one work, in my opinion, but how do you encode something like that? > The commentary/image module DoreWoodcutsCom (verse-keyed version of > DoreWoodcuts, able to be used as a sort of graphical commentary) is > import-encoded like this: > > $$$Gen 3:1-24 > Adam And Eve Are Driven Out Of Eden > <br /><img src=""/> > $$$Gen 4:1-7 > Cain And Abel Offer Their Sacrifices > <br /><img src=""/> > $$$Gen 4:8-26 > Cain Slays Abel > <br /><img src=""/> > > The 1st covers the entirety of Gen 3.
