[sword-devel] private protocol HTML links

[Don A. Elbourne Jr.]

I solved part of the problem by substituting the abbreviated book names and
removing the spaces. This makes the string shorter and works for most of the
strings I am working on with this particular project. I am still not sure if
the character length is a limitation of my OS, the browser, or Sword.

If you would like to take a glimps at what I am working on see:

Just click on "sword" at the top. This will make all the verse references
linkable with the Sword private protocol. The links are created dynamically
with a Miva function I am putting together. The function takes a verse list
and creates customized links on the fly. In the demo, I have a line in there
for debugging that tells me how many characters are in the verse string.

I still have some work to do on the site, this is just the development,
getting all the guts of the thing working. Each of the 17 articles of faith
will be on a separate page. The user will be able to select his or her
preferences as to what types of links to show, witch translation they would
like to link to, etc and these preferences will be persistent throughout the
site. I will also probably allow them to select a style sheet for different
display options.
