[jsword-devel] Displaying Strongs Numbers

[Keith Watson]

I created a new bug report BD-119 about displaying Strongs numbers in the
link text.  The existing bug report, BD-112, went way beyond just showing
the actual numbers.  It talked about showing the Hebrew/Greek words, and
even talked about tooltips.  The current scheme displays a counter of the
form Sx where the number x starts at one and increments for each Strongs
number displayed in the view.  This is what is shown for the plain text in
each link.  It is not human readable since it does not tie into actual
Strongs numbers.

What was the reasoning behind doing this instead of showing the actual
Strongs number?

If the counter version is necessary, should there be an option to choose
which way to show it?

My preference would be to show the actual Strongs number since it is then
available for looking it up by hand, copying to another document, etc.  I
have tested it in a local build.  The attached picture is an example of the
output.  The result is human readable and the few extra characters do not
seem to clutter the text.  

Input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
