[sword-devel] Print Bible Features

[Jimmie Houchin]

Hello,

If 0:0 ... 1:0 increments are not to be available, then another 
interface should be devised. For Bible texts I will agree that a x:0 is 
not intuitive. I personally did not know it affected the MHC(C) until 
Troy mentioned it.

Possibly a way to manipulate directly, texts in the Commentary window. 
With a means for MHC(C) to display it x:0 data.

Maybe this could help other texts as well. Could this possibly also be 
used to manipulate the interface to books like Josephus, Heretics, 
Orthodoxy, etc. This could free up the left windows of those books 
commentary window and allow a single window for just the text of the 
chosen section. Hmmm.

Hopefully it will be discussed and addressed in some manner.

Just some thoughts.
