Stephen,

thank you for your comments.

They do not appear any more because they are in the info display now.
This will be the case for all module with strongs once this is fully 
implemented.
This should make the text a lot more readable, together with the display 
styles.

Headings should be visible in the text. What modules does not display them? 
The KJV has no headings I think. The headings won't be displayed in the text.

For footnotes and morphs: The same as for strongs. They can be viewed in the 
info display. At the place of  a footnotes is a small yellow box, which 
displays the footnotes as soon as the mouse over the box (you have to use the 
default style atm).

That will be fixed, but I can't give a date here. But before the next version, 
for sure :)

Sword has a cool new search feature to search in additional markup like 
Strongs, Morph code etc.
So we could say: "Search '0910 in the strongs numbers'" or "Search 'added' and 
'later' in the footnotes of the module". Or we could search for "my son" in 
the quotes of jesus (not sure if this would work :-)
This search feature will replace the old, ugly searching for strong number, 
which wasn't clear enough for the average user.

Is that ok for you?

To make the text saty press the shift key while moving the mouse. That way you 
can view / scroll the info display text.
Is viewing the strong number in a window better for you than reading it in the 
info display?
We will offer to click on the strong number in the info display to open a new 
window for it.

I'm not sure if the comments above made it more clear how the feature will 
look like.

Let me know what you think so we can try to find a good solution if there's 
one.

We won't offer a feature to disable the info display.
