[sword-devel] New filter for red letter words

[Joachim Ansorg]

Hey Chris,
it wasn't my intention to start a flame war :)

We just remove the red color, but no text. The red color was added later by 
the translators but it's no in the original ancient texts. Just like 
footnotes. Or am I wrong here?

It's the users choice if he likes Jesus' words in red or black, isn't it?

And I didn't implemented this because of the sword-support eMail but because I 
wanted the filter myself.
But if Troy says this it's wrong what I did I'll remove it.

Joachim
