[bt-devel] Proposed change for BibleTime

[Gary Holmlund]

I have the functionality I need now by post processing the html. The 
benefit would be cleaner code. The logic would not be in two places if 
the post processing is not needed. Since the code that would have to 
change is in the "backend" of BibleTime I believe it would be specific 
to BibleTime. It is on the list of things I would like to have done, but 
there are several other functionality issues that need to be 
re-implemented because of the changes from QWebEngine to QML Listview 
for display of modules.
