[jsword-devel] Hebrew/Greek defs as tooltips

[Mullins, Steven]

I agree with Daniel.  A think a tooltip template like:

[Lemma/Strongs]: [Morph]

Would work for most.

I say Lemma/Strongs because there is some variability among the modules.
For example, TR, LXX and WHNU use a strong's number for a lemma, but
MorphGNT uses an actual Greek Lemma.  For TR, LXX and WHNU, the
transliterated lemma is at the head of the Strong's definition and would
need to be parsed out.  

Just a heads up.

I want to affirm this effort as well. I wonder if there is a way to give

access to lemma and morphology information without having to see the 
Strong's number, lemma, or morphology codes. I know that many users will

want to see the Strong's numbers, but for those who are trying to read 
in a fluid fashion this clutters the screen. It would be nice to have 
access to the information without cluttering the screen. BibleTime 
implements this nicely using sword. I would think that jsword could 
handle this as well, though I speak from ignorance. Perhaps words 
themselves could be a link without the underlined blue text? There is 
just so much to commend BibleDesktop/Alkitab already. This would really 
move things forward when it comes to reading Greek and Hebrew
