[sword-devel] How do you select verses from a range?

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Jari,
	The way multiple verses are rendered for the user is up to the client 
software, not the engine.  You can decide if you show verse number, 
verse headings, etc.

	Having said this, there is a Displayer concept in the engine which 
allows you customize they way you want your output to display, associate 
this with a book, then book->setKey(...), then book->Display();  I don't 
have time to write an example for you right now, but if you still have 
trouble in a few days (when the semester is over), I would be happy to 
help you.  In the mean time, see SWDisp.  And for an example you can see 
some of the other frontends, how they implement different types of 
displayers.  Here is the Chapter displayer for BibleCS, which, 
accordingly displays an entire chapter and highlights the current verse:

http://crosswire.org/svn/biblecs/trunk/swdisprtfchap.cpp

Hope this helps.  Glad you're making progress.

	Blessings!
		-Troy.
