Thanks, Troy.

The issue was that I previously hadn't used this:

mgr.setGlobalOption("Headings", "On");

My new helper function now works after using that call initially.

Best regards,
Tobias

Hi Tobias. Have a look at sword/examples/cmdline/search.cpp. I believe it takes an optional range parameter.

    Hi Troy,

    I can't seem to get the scope parameter of the search function right ...
    I either get crashes or no results.

    How do I have to initialize the scope parameter for the module search so
    that I get the headings for one particular Bible book as search results?

    Best regards,
    Tobias

        Sure Tobias, module->getEntryAttributes() will allow you to
        pull the headings from a verse, and an Entry Attributes search
        for '/Heading' will give you only the verses with Heading
        entries attributes. I've thrown together a quick example here,
        which you can use with something like: ./showHeadings NASB
        Matt-John which will give you the headings from the Gospels.
        https://crosswire.org/svn/sword/trunk/examples/tasks/findHeadings.cpp

        Creating this example, I found I needed to fix a bug in the
        engine.  The engine Entry Attributes search lets you search
        for values in the entry attributes (e.g., a Strong's number
        1234).  In your use case, when searching, you don't care about
        the value; you only care about presence.  This wasn't working,
        but simple presence can now be searched for with my latest
        commit. Hope this helps, Troy On 4/12/21 9:31 AM, Tobias Klein

            Hi, I have been getting a request from a user to render
            section headings independently of the currently opened
            bible translation module. So for example when opening the
            KJV still using the section/chapter headers of the NASB.
            This would be useful in those cases when the respective
            bible translation module does not come with
            section/chapter headers, but another one does. A
            requirement would be to efficiently extract
            section/chapter headers from a module using the SWORD API.
            As of now I only see that you can iterate over the verses
            of a book and individually scan each verse for the
            headers. Is there a more efficient way of doing that?
            Another use case could be to render a book outline. This
            is what I am already doing now in Ezra, but in a way that
            is not so clean (I am traversing the DOM looking for all
            section header elements of the current book). Best
            regards, Tobias
