[sword-devel] WHNU variants

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Will, that almost looks alright.  The options are:

All Readings
Primary Reading
Secondary Reading

note the plural/singular difference.

You might want to just grab the available feature set and valid choices 
from the engine, which is how most frontends (besides Bibletime :) ) use 
the engine.  Here is a code snippet from BibleCS:

      StringList options = mainmgr->getGlobalOptions();
      for (StringList::iterator it = options.begin(); it != 
options.end(); it++) {
           TMenuItem *newitem = new TMenuItem(MainMenu1);
           newitem->Caption = it->c_str();
           newitem->Default = false;
           newitem->OnClick = OptionShowVals;
           newitem->Hint = mainmgr->getGlobalOptionTip(it->c_str());
           StringList values = mainmgr->getGlobalOptionValues(it->c_str());
           for (StringList::iterator it2 = values.begin(); it2 != 
values.end(); it2++) {
                TMenuItem *newitem2 = new TMenuItem(MainMenu1);
                newitem2->Caption = it2->c_str();
                newitem2->Default = false;
                newitem2->OnClick = GlobalOptionChange;
                newitem->Add(newitem2);
           }
//        optionsMenu->Add(newitem);
      }


The first variant is in Matthew 1:9.


<seg type="x-variant" subType="x-class:1">
<w morph="Robinson:N-PRI" lemma="strong:G881">αχας</w>
<w morph="Robinson:N-PRI" lemma="strong:G881">αχας</w>
</seg>
<seg type="x-variant" subType="x-class:2">
<w morph="Robinson:N-PRI" lemma="strong:G881">αχαζ</w>
<w morph="Robinson:N-PRI" lemma="strong:G881">αχαζ</w>
</seg>

(that's the OSIS rendering)

It's not a typo, though it looked to me like one, at first.  The name 
Achaz (or Achas) is repeated twice (... begat Achaz, Achaz begat ...)

You'd modify thmlhtmlhref filter to add the code I gave you in my last 
message to handle the ThML and output something useful for you.

	Hope this helps,
