I've made the change. For both Strong's Numbers and Morphology Codes.
It was a 4 line change and I knew where it was, so I just went ahead
and did it. I hope that no one minds that I jumped in on this one.
Please look at the nightly build (sometime after tonight :) and give
feedback. It looks really cluttered in the KJV NT when it is on for
both Strong's Numbers and for Morphology codes.
Later I may make it an option to choose between the two ways.
It might be nice to add formatting options for the links. I generally
use a large font so the subscripts being smaller is not a problem for
me.
In Him,
DM
