Basically it works now, paraghraps need line wrapping. It's almsot finished, 
maybe I should do it because I'm used to it ?

I'm serious. To see the problem try to search e.g. 5 english module for a 
word like "is", you'll get thousands of results nd a long delay while the 
items are inserted.

The insertion of the entries. Maybe like GNOMESword? It's nice.

On the alpha pages of SWORD there's a ThML module called something like 
"Scofield notes". Test it. 
The things to support ThML belong in SWORD (the filter stuff). For example 
ThML2HTML etc.
I'll have a look at it if it's supported in BT!
